THE PROBLEM
Canada Geese settle on golf courses, private ponds, and commercial retention ponds and remain only to create a nuisance. Each goose drops two to four pounds of excrement daily and creates tremendous noise.
THE SOLUTION
The AwayWithGeese system is a new and innovative way to rid your property of nuisance geese without the use of harsh chemicals, dogs, reflectors, noise making devices or other concoctions.
AwayWithGeese is self-contained, automatic and guaranteed to get rid of geese!
Background on Geese
The scientific name for Canada Geese is Branta canadensis. The birds often migrate in the fall, but isolated populations may reside year round. Nesting begins in March and April, in the riparian zone near a waterbody.
One goose can consume up to four pounds of grass per day, producing about three pounds of fecal matter per day. This can contribute to excessive amounts of nutrient loading because their feces contain 76% carbon, 4.4% nitrogen, and 1.3% phosphorus. These nutrients can cause harmful algal blooms in lakes from runoff. To make matters worse Cryptosporidium parvum, a protozoan linked to the feces of animals has caused over 400,000 sicknesses and a recorded six deaths (Worsnop, 1994).
Environmentally Safe, Low Maintenance
The success of the product is based around a simple concept. At night, geese sleep in or near water areas where they feel secure from their predators (dogs, fox and coyotes). Placing an AwayWithGeese unit into the secure areas simulates the eye reflection of these predators and disrupts the geese's ability to sleep. The geese no longer consider the area "safe" and will simply move to another suitable area within a few days.
Geese are also lazy. They tend to stay close to their secure areas during daylight hours in order to minimize the distance they travel each day. AwayWithGeese is powerful enough to coax the geese into finding a different nighttime home far enough away to discourage daily commutes back to your lawn.
The unit automatically operates at night and produces an amber 360 degree beam of light directed at goose eye-level, then recharges itself during the day.
The light is unobtrusive to people. In fact, when seen at night, it provides a sense of satisfaction to human observers as it continues its vigil to encourage the geese to move on – along with their mess.
AwayWithGeese is available in residential (land) and water configurations to help you get rid of geese depending on the type of habitat your property offers.

* Solar powered - no changing batteries or running electricity

Water-based Unit
The Water Unit has been designed to rid ponds and lakes of unwanted geese. The unit floats in the water and is tethered to a weight or anchor that you supply. Geese normally return to the water at night to sleep because it is safe from predators. The unit's flashing light alters the geese's sleep patterns which causes them to move to another pond.
1. The product floats in the water and works at night, 7 days a week
2. Effective goose deterrent works by altering sleep patterns causing them to move to another pond.
Residential-based Unit
The Residential Unit is designed to rid lawns, fields and gardens of unwanted geese. The unit is staked into the ground and covers an area that is in line of sight up to 3.5 acres. Geese that congregate on lawns in the early morning or night will find a new place to rest in short order.
1. Eliminates night and early AM congregating by disturbing the geese just enough to encourage them to move to another location
2. Stakes securely into the ground and may be placed anywhere in your lawn
3. Includes a heavy duty stainless steel mounting hook that securely inserts into the ground -- no other mounting hardware is required
4. Ball bearing swivel and wind vane allows the unit to twist in the wind as a further deterrent
5. Stainless steel lanyard and mounting hardware
All AwayWithGeese products carry a Two Year Warranty!
AwayWithGeese will replace any part - including the light assembly - that may go bad for up to two years after the initial purchase provided that the product was used as directed and not physically damaged or vandalized.

TESTIMONIALS
"I just wanted to pass along my thoughts regarding the Away With Geese product. Last year, the biggest complaint on our golf course from our members was the goose problem, mainly disrupting the greens’ surfaces. After placing the lights in two of our ponds this spring, we have not had any more major issues with them. Although we see the geese from time to time on our property they are no longer a nuisance. As an Audubon International Certified Sanctuary, it is important for us to use humane deterrents for pests, and your product fits that mold. Thank you."

"I wanted to share with you how pleased we are with our Geese Away Light. It has worked wonders! No more geese! What a great spring we have had without the goose droppings and all of the noise that the geese make.
Thanks so much for all of the help and your expertise. So much appreciated! We have all shared about "our magic" light with others. Much appreciated!"

"Our goose population was holding steady at approximately 100. Homeowners around our lake had resorted to fireworks, flare guns and nylon lines strung a foot above the ground between stakes to discourage the geese. Needless to say all of the methods were disturbing, dangerous and unsuccessful. Then we installed two of your floating Away With Geese devices in our small lake on August 1, 2009. Within two weeks following the installation of your devices our geese were gone and we have not been bothered by them again. Your product proved to be everything you claimed."

"Just wanted to send a few words to thank you for your advice as well as the Equipment you suggested to successfully rid ourselves of Canadian Geese. All the homeowners that surround our lake have marveled at the success we have had in deflecting our very dirty visitors to other areas and lakes. We have referred others to you and they have had similar success. We cannot thank you enough!"

"It is absolutely amazing! We do not have any geese on one lake anymore and just a few stragglers on our other lake because someone keeps feeding them… but what a difference…"

"I ordered my first Away with Geese last year. I was truly amazed how a newly dug 1 acre pond on my farm was transformed into an apparent goose farm seemingly overnight. I was desperate. Within 2 weeks of placing your unit in the center of my pond, the geese were gone.......and haven't yet come back. Revenge is sweet. It worked so well that I am ordering another one for a 2nd pond at my home in NYC . Your new design is great and your product works fantastic. Now all I need to do is convince my local golf course to get a few of these so I can come home with clean shoes."

"The University spent over a million dollars to make our 2 ponds a focal point for the campus, but the project was not complete until AwayWithGeese took care of our geese problem."

"Thank you Away With Geese for reclaiming our pond in front of our office. Our employees are now able to enjoy the park like setting to picnic and walk around the pond. Last year the pond and outer area were over run with geese and what they leave behind. From all the staff, thank you again."

"We have a three acre pond that was covered with geese every fall, at dusk. They made a racket and a mess. We decided to give the "Away with Geese" light a try. We put the light in the center of the pond and within 3 nights, the geese were gone. We are very happy with the light. It is safe and environmentally friendly. Best of all, it really does work!"
