Goosebuster

The GooseBuster has been tested and proven effective against the CanadaGoose, Mallards, Coots, Gulls, Heron, Egrets, Comorants and allother ducks and geese. A research report demonstrating the effectivenessof this product is availablebelow. Here is why this product is so effective:

• Actual alert and alarm calls recorded in the wild - GooseBusteris the first and only repeller to use actual alert and alarm callsof Canada Geese, recorded under natural conditions. Geese recognizethese calls and respond instinctively (to 'alert' calls indicatinguneasiness about potential danger and 'alarm' calls signifying immediatedanger). Reacting to either, they evacuate instantly, without waitingto identify the source.
• Different calls in random combinations - GooseBuster broadcastsits calls in random combinations. Calls differ in frequency, durationand intervals. Sound combinations, sequences and speaker selectionchange randomly, leading geese to perceive many birds in many differentlocations.
• 23 years of research - GooseBuster is the tangible resultof 23 years of research conducted by Dr. Philip Whitford, AssociateProfessor of Biology at Capital University. Since 1979, Dr. Whitfordhas been studying Canada Goose behavior and vocal communications,then presenting and publishing his findings. He holds his PhD in biologicalsciences in the field of animal behavior, and BS and MS degrees inwildlife management. On request, Dr. Whitford is available for consultation;please inquire. Proven effective in university-conducted field studies.Published results, “Efficacyof Recorded Alarm and Alert Calls for Goose Dispersal”
• Incremental help from Nature - New arrivals leave abruptlyin a panic, encouraging original residents to leave as well. GooseBustercauses other birds to exhibit their alarm calls, giving geese a greatersense of danger
• Versatility of the device
  • TIMER - program sounds to coincide with arrival of geese
  • PROGRAMMABLE - choose interval between calls
  • SPEAKER SEQUENCING - imitates natural patterns of
    • a moving goose, looking around at disturbances; and
      
    • 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 usesthis memory against them - once scared away repeatedly, they rarelyreturn.
• COVERAGE - One unit: 5-7 acres.
• EXTRA COVERAGE - Two units: 15-21 acres. Field tests showthat a second unit increases coverage dramatically. This additiveeffect more than doubles the coverage (in fact it increases up tothree times) reducing the per-acre cost significantly.
  

• UNSIGHTLY MESS - At least a pound of droppings per day per goose!
• CONTAMINATION - From increased fecal coliform levels in ponds
• DESTRUCTION - Ravaging grass and property
• MONEY WASTED - Cleaning, reseeding, resodding and repairing
