Deterring Pest Birds like Geese from Commercial Property

If you manage a golf course, corporate lawn, private park or commercial greenbelt, large bird pests like geese can pose quite a problem. In addition to their noise and aggressive behavior (they have been known to attack passersby), they can create a huge mess in droppings. Unless these droppings are promptly cleaned up, they can permeate an entire area with a very unpleasant odor. If you’ve ever had a run in with geese, you know that they can trample and destroy flowerbeds and other delicate plants. Geese droppings also carry disease. They can contaminate ponds and other decorative water features on your property.

There’s no two ways about it: pest geese can add considerable cost to your overall maintenance operation. Without effective and humane goose controls, getting rid of geese can pose a challenge. Blasting them water hoses or scaring geese with noise is an ineffective way to scare birds like these. The same holds true for pellet guns and poisons. In some cases, the latter two measures may even be illegal, resulting in costly fines.

Fortunately, the bird control experts at Bird-B-Gone offer a humane and effective goose deterrent that will keep geese off your commercial property. It’s called the Solar Bird Chase Super Sonic

Scare Birds with Sounds They Fear

The Solar Bird Chase Super Sonic has been scientifically designed to deter geese using sounds they fear. It broadcasts pre-recorded goose distress calls that convince geese that their fellow geese are being attacked by predators.  The sounds are broadcast for two minutes and repeated every 10 minutes to convince geese that the threat is ever present and real. As a result, geese will leave the area for safer pastures.

Deter Bird Pests from Large Open Spaces

Humane and effective, the Solar Bird Chase Super Sonic goose deterrent was designed to discourage geese from occupying golf courses, greenbelts and commercial parklands. The device comes with a built-in speaker and three satellite speakers to cover up to three acres. Additional speakers can be added to extend the coverage range to five acres. The satellite speakers come with 100 feet of wire and connect to the back of the device. The device’s power cord connects easily to any standard 110-volt AC source.

Ruggedly Designed and Easily Adjustable

The Solar Bird Chase Super Sonic is designed for outdoor use. The rugged, high quality device is constructed of UV-protected materials to ensure it remains both sun- and weather-resistant. A convenient LCD display panel lets you adjust the volume and program the device to automatically shut off at night.

An Ounce of Prevention

Needless to say, if you want to ensure your commercial property or golf course is not overrun by geese, the best time to install this goose deterrent is before the geese arrive.







How to Keep Geese from Destroying Your Backyard

If your garden, pool or spa area is being invaded by pest geese, you’re going to have a busy spring and summer—cleaning and chasing these pest birds. If you haven’t already discovered, geese are big, aggressive and noisy. And they pretty much go where they feel like it, trampling your flower garden and pooping in your pool, spa or decorative water feature. Goose droppings can cause bacterial and algae problems. And they can carry a number of diseases, including swimmer’s itch, histoplasmosis, toxoplasmosis and giardia.
 
If your home is near a lake, reservoir, or large pond, you’ll have geese snooping and pooping around your property. Homes near a river or seashore are equally vulnerable. Geese enjoy munching on grasses and aquatic plants—plants you can say goodbye to if geese decide to pay you a visit. Geese possess superb homing capabilities, which means if you failed to effectively deter them last year, they’ll be back this year. To prevent this, you’ll need an effective and humane goose control strategy.

Fortunately, the bird control experts at Bird-B-Gone offer a number of goose deterrents that will keep geese away from your property.

Scare Birds Away with Sounds Geese Hate

The Solar Bird Chase Super Sonic broadcasts pre-recorded distress and predator calls that convince birds—including geese—that their winged brethren are being attacked.  The calls are broadcast for two minutes and repeated every 10 minutes to convince geese that the threat is imminent and real. The Solar Bird Chase Super Sonic was designed to discourage geese and other bird pests from flocking to large commercial areas, so it has plenty of range and reach to handle your backyard. The device comes with a built-in speaker to cover a full acre of property.  Best of all, it’s solar powered and works even on overcast days. The rugged, high quality device is constructed of UV-protected materials, making it sun- and weather-resistant. A handy LCD display panel lets you set the volume and program the device to automatically shut off at night.
 
Scare Birds Away with the Scarecrow

Geese bold enough to enter a yard guarded by the Scarecrow will get a sudden and annoying surprise—a blast of water that will send them running. The harmless water blast, alarming sprinkler sound, and realistic looking bird-like moving head will "persuade" geese to stay away. Simple to set up and easy to use, the Scarecrow connects to your garden hose, yet it uses only 2 to 3 cups of water per spray. Scarecrows cover approximately 1,200 square feet with a stream that reaches out 35 feet and 45 feet wide. They guard your backyard, day and night for up to 6 months, delivering as many as 1,000 water blasts on one 9-volt battery. And you can easily adjust a Scarecrow’s sensitivity and coverage distance.




Getting Rid of Geese in Your Backyard

If you live on or near a lake, you no doubt will have a problem with geese. You can try firecrackers, dogs, and blasting them with a water hose, but they will return within a few days. Besides their annoying squawking and the smelly droppings they leave behind, geese have been known to carry bird flu. Known as avian flu, this disease is caused by a form of influenza virus that typically only infects birds. Yet, in some cases, the virus can be transmitted to humans by direct contact with birds. Experts are worried that the bird flu could mutate into a new form that can rapidly spread from person to person.

The only sure fire way to get rid of geese from your backyard is to use the kind of goose control measures the professionals use. These devices have been proven effective and humane.

Sonic Goose Deterrent

Designed to deter geese from large open spaces, backyards and gardens, these devices broadcast pre-recorded goose-distress calls that make geese far too nervous to hang around your property.The sounds are repeated every ten minutes to alert geese of imminent danger. The best sonic goose deterrents are weatherproof and designed to last outdoors. They come with a volume control and can even be programmed to turn on or off at night.Sonic goose deterrents typically come with an internal speaker that will cover big backyards—up to one acre. If you own a really large property, you can protect it from invading geese by adding more speakers to the unit. The additional speakers include 100 feet of wire and connect easily to the back of the unit.

Scarecrow Goose Deterrent

Imagine if you could stand guard 24/7 with a water hose, and the minute a goose wandered near your lawn or garden, you hit it with a sobering blast of water. Do you think geese would get the message that your property is off limits to them? Think of Scarecrows as your silent sentry, ever alert to the mere presence of geese. These motion-activated devices react instantly to any birds entering their zone of protection. They feature a realistic looking bird-like moving head that blasts water at invading birds who dare to enter a 1,200 square foot area that extends 35 feet out by 45 feet wide. Scarecrows connect easily to most garden hoses. You can even adjust a Scarecrow’s sensitivity and range to cover certain areas of your yard.

Scary Eye Balloons

Undoubtedly one of the most economical goose deterrents, Scary Eye Balloons work well when used in combination with the two deterrents mentioned above. These balloons feature a large, scary “mock” predator eyeball that makes geese feel far too uneasy to hang around. Easily hung on trees, patios, fences or any highly elevated area around your yard, these balloons bob and weave in the breeze to give them a lifelike quality.
