By suggesting goose repellents I just wondering that what is the key component in Goose repellents which really affect the these geese. How is it works?
Well at a minimum I think you want to prevent their being more Geese so you might try finding their eggs and raddling them (shaking them for a minimum of a couple of minutes) or coating them with oil. Don't do this alone as the Geese will protect their nests. You could also try to get some legislation going to use them to feed food banks and soup kitchens, I understand Michigan may be doing something like this.

You have to be authorized to do that, and most states don't allow non-DNR people to do it, has to be part of an approved control program. If these are resident geese the state DNR can institute control measures, if migrants the USFWS is involved.
I think jimbo has the right idea:
As I don't want to kill them, Please let me know about some other option.
Thanks,
You've pretty much been given all the non-lethal options. Dogs are what most removal experts use. Those contractors aren't cheap and many times the geese come back eventually once the dogs are gone. You have an attractive habitat.
I doubt that your property is significantly "unsafe" due to wild geese, nevertheless, the best "control" method is a canine. . . try a border collie. . . .they are high energy, need a "job", and will really get into protecting your place from geese!
When I lived in Michigan (a DNR state) we had a massive problem with Geese at my place of employment. It was termed an actual "hazard condition" as the geese left their droppings all over a winding entrance road used by 18 wheelers. (Lose as a goose isn't just a saying. The condition of that road was like it was ice covered after the geese went through) I had meetings with the DNR and we were given permission to use 12 gauge blank shells to try and scare the geese away. It did work after around 3 months of me running out & shooting in their direction every time anyone saw them coming in. I think the employees got more of a kick out of just watching me (a 35 year old lady dressed in a business suit & pumps) totin' a 12 gauge through the lobby and out the front door at least 5 times a day.
Tended to scare any guests in the lobby pretty well too

As I read one post on Goose Problem in this forum I can make a contact to flight control plus team for Goose Control Management. Anyway please give me the contact details of border collie. I can also contact them for geese problem.
Border collie is a breed of dog, bred specifically for livestock handling. These are very intelligent, rugged dogs, but like all dogs, need to be trained. Their natural proclivity is to "chase", which, with training, can be modified to "herd", and to follow specific comands. Please contact dog breeders and or dog trainers in your area for specific info on purchasing a dog, care/ training of dog, etc.
