GooseBuster
Repels Canada geese mallards all other ducks and geese. Can also be used against coots, gulls, heron, egrets, and cormorants.
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. 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 (GooseBuster is the tangible result of 23 years of research conducted by Dr. Philip Whitford, Associate Professor of Biology at Capital University, Columbus, Ohio, USA.).
Typical methodology: 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.
