WHY REPEL GEESE?
They number in the MILLIONS
(increasing at 30% a year) and leave:
 |
UNSIGHTLY MESS (at least
a pound of droppings per day per goose!)
|
 |
CONTAMINATION from
increased fecal coliform levels in ponds
|
 |
Ravaged grass and
property
|
 |
MONEY WASTED cleaning,
reseeding, resodding and repairing |
|
PESTS IT REPELS.
 |
Canada geese
|
 |
mallards
|
 |
all other ducks and
geese.
Also can be used against coots, gulls, heron,
egrets, and cormorants. |

WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT
GooseBuster?
Actual alert and alarm calls
recorded in the wild. GooseBuster is the first and only repeller
to use actual alert and alarm calls of Canada geese, recorded under
natural conditions. Geese recognize these calls and respond
instinctively( to 'alert' calls indicating uneasiness about potential
danger and 'alarm' calls signifying immediate danger). Reacting to
either, they evacuate instantly, without waiting to identify the
source.
Different calls in random
combinations. GooseBuster broadcasts its calls in random
combinations. Calls differ in frequency, duration and intervals. Sound
combinations, sequences and speaker selection change randomly, leading
geese to perceive many birds many locations.
23 years of research.
GooseBuster is the tangible result of 23 years of research
conducted by Dr. Philip Whitford, Professor of Biology at Capital
University. Since 1979, Dr. Whitford has been studying Canada goose
behavior and vocal communications, then presenting and publishing his
findings. He holds his PhD in biological sciences in the field of
animal behavior, and BS and MS degrees in wildlife management. On
request, Dr. Whitford is available for consultation; please inquire.

INCREMENTAL HELP FROM NATURE.
New arrivals leave abruptly in a
panic, encouraging original residents to leave as well.
GooseBuster causes other birds
to exhibit their alarm calls, giving geese a greater sense of
danger
SUCCESS IS IN THE DETAILS.
TIMER - program sounds to coincide
with arrival of geese
PROGRAMMABLE - choose interval between
calls
SPEAKER SEQUENCING - imitates
natural patterns of
1) a moving goose, looking around at
disturbances; and
2) several agitated geese
RANDOM PLAY - sounds are
always changing, preventing acclimation.
LONG TERM SOLUTION. Geese are stubborn and territorial,
and return to the same place year after year. But GooseBuster uses
this memory against them - once scared away repeatedly, they rarely
return.
COVERAGE.
One unit: 5-7 acres.
EXTRA COVERAGE: Two units: 15-21 acres. Field
tests show that a second unit increases coverage dramatically. This
additive effect more than doubles the coverage (in fact it increases
up to three times) reducing the per-acre cost significantly.

Proven effective in university-conducted field studies.
