Business Lots, Commercial Parks, Industrial Spaces, Property Management Companies
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 and picnic or walk around the pond. Last year the pond and outer area were overrun with geese and what they leave behind. From all the staff, thank you again.
Geese are aggressive towards people, especially while nesting and rearing their goslings. Hundreds of geese attacks occur every year, with geese chasing and biting, resulting in injuries ranging from small scratches to broken bones suffered during falls. At businesses, this often looks like geese chasing people through the parking lot as they come and go to work.
Each goose leaves 2-4 pounds of excrement per day. As the population of the geese increases, the abundance of excrement makes the grass unusable and ruins flat rooftops. They ingest an incredible amount of grass each day, leaving the lawn sparse in grass and abundant in droppings. Property managers are left to deal with the headache of getting rid of the droppings, working to reestablish the grass, or even replacing the roof.
Studies have confirmed the presence of bacteria, parasites and human pathogens in goose feces. This is a heightened concern in the manicured grasses where people walk through or sit and have their hands on the grass, making transmission of disease more likely. The rain runoff has a high nitrogen content, causing algal blooms and fish kills in nearby water.
Property managers are some of our favorite customers because they are able to get rid of geese in one location and then happily translate that success to their other properties. Geese love the highly manicured grass and retention ponds that are common at business complexes and office parks: they have an easy and ample food source and a place to rest at night, whether it be in the ponds or the flat rooftops. However, they are in conflict with the high foot traffic and usage of these spaces, leading to parking lot conflicts and messy sidewalks that get tracked inside.
As the geese settle into secure-feeling ponds or rooftops in the evening to rest and be safe from predators, the units get to work. The solar powered flashing lights charge during the day and then flash a gentle 360-degree orange light from dusk to dawn that reaches a 100-yard radius. This light disrupts geese’s sensitive eyesight and makes the environment uncomfortable. Since geese prefer to stay in the same location day and night, they quickly relocate—and stay away for good.
Since 2005, we have been the industry leader in goose repellents, boasting a 97% success rate backed by a Satisfaction Guarantee. Our maintenance-free units mean that folks can get back to enjoying their outdoor space and focus on more enjoyable lawn care tasks.
Our durable, weather-proof geese deterrent units are specially designed for the various landscapes typical of office parks and businesses:
The Industrial Unit features an augers that attaches to the light and the base and twists securely into the ground, effectively deterring theft of the unit. Like all of our units, the light is mounted on durable ¼ inch ABS plastic that is designed to withstand all weather and stay installed year-round. It is the maintenance-free solution to geese on public land.
Geese often sleep in lakes and ponds because it allows them to feel secure and safe from predators at night, while having quick and easy access to grass during the day. The Water Unit effectively deters geese by sending a subtle flash of light from dusk to dawn, right at the eye-level of the geese, making for restless nights and effectively changing the feel of the habitat for the geese.
Geese like to take refuge on flat rooftops in the evening and overnight hours, as it is a safe area that feels secure from their predators. Their destruction of roofs is swift and expensive: the droppings and feathers cause drains to clog and water to pool, leading to repairs or complete failing of the rooftop. The hind nail of the goose punctures the surface of the roofs. The unit works by altering the habitat of the roof, putting the geese on edge during the night and causing them to relocate all together.
