Frequently asked question
Will the Away With Geese
product work year-round?
The product will provide continuous service year-round. The materials
that we use in the construction of the product will hold up well
against ice and snow, so you can keep the product outside in your pond
or in your yard year round. The light automatically recharges itself in
sunlight and will keep its charge for up to 6 days without sunlight.
What if I have geese at my pond that have recently had
goslings? Will the mother and goslings be deterred?
Mother geese will not forsake their goslings under any circumstances.
However, after thirteen to fourteen weeks the goslings are weaned of
their mother and capable of flight. At this point, Away With Geese will
deter both the mother and the developed goslings.
Do I need to bring my Away With Geese in for the winter season?
No. You may keep the product in the pond even when it freezes over.
Away With Geese can be removed, however, in northern regions as geese
in these areas migrate to the south. Away With Geese should be returned
to the water in the early spring to continue protecting the water.
How many acres will one light cover?
Three acres are well covered with one light. When you have a par five
at 580 yards with a pond/lake running all along one side you will need
two lights. The first one should be placed ¼ of the way and the
second at the ¾ mark of the water. This will give some over
lapping but total coverage.
Is
the light that Away With Geese emits annoying to people too?
The answer to this is a simple ‘no’. The light emits about
as much light as a 100-watt bulb. This is hardly noticeable to people
at any time, especially during the day. However, it is extremely
unnerving to geese, as the geese are very critical about their nesting
areas and choose to not reside by a consistent annoyance. Otherwise,
the device is hardly noticeable to people at all; the base and housing
are simple, black, and blend in very well in the natural environment.
The Naperville homeowners association where my
wife and I reside (of which I am the Board President) installed two of
the floating units in our association pond. The effect they had on the
geese population was immediate and significant. I was so impressed with
the product that I invested in it becoming the Illinois distributor.
The irritation produced by huge flocks of Canadian Geese in the pond
behind our house has been greatly reduced by these products. With our
generous return policy you have nothing to lose by giving us a try so
please call!

More about Away with Geese!
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 or your money back. 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). - Information Provided by Marc Skehan and Therese Thompson, PhD Mount Ida College, Newton, MA))
