Description
Goose Control Beacon | Do Away With Geese
Looking for a way to keep geese off your property or lakefront? The Away With Geese Goose Control Beacon is a solar-powered, nighttime goose deterrent designed to encourage geese to relocate without chemicals, loud noise, dogs, traps or other physical control methods.
It operates automatically from dusk to dawn, sending a 360-degree amber flash at approximately goose eye-level that disturbs the secure nighttime environment geese look for when resting. At dawn the light turns off and the built-in solar system recharges during the day.
- Solar powered: no batteries to routinely replace and no cord to run
- Automatic dusk-to-dawn operation
- 360-degree amber LED flash at goose eye-level
- Land unit or floating water unit
- Chemical-free and silent
Disrupt the Nighttime Roost and Geese Move On
Away With Geese annoys geese enough that they move and locate a different nighttime home farther away. Because geese stay close to areas where they feel secure at night, disrupting that roosting pattern can also discourage daily returns to your lawn, shoreline, pond or lakefront.
Solar Powered
No batteries to routinely replace and no electrical cord to run to the unit.
Automatic at Night
Operates from dusk to dawn, then recharges during daylight.
Land or Water
Choose the land unit for lawns and shorelines or the floating water unit for ponds and lakes.
Chemical-Free
Encourages geese to relocate without harmful chemicals or noise-producing devices.
If geese only visit your property during the day and are not present around dusk, dawn or overnight, this product is not the right solution. View other goose repellent and deterrent options for daytime control.
Keep Lawns, Docks and Swim Areas Clean
Large numbers of geese can create repeated cleanup problems around lawns, docks, shorelines, ponds and swimming areas. Goose feces can carry bacteria and create sanitation concerns for people and pets, while repeated congregating can damage grass and make waterfront areas less enjoyable to use.
Chemical-Free, Silent, Solar-Powered Goose Control
The Goose Control Beacon encourages geese to relocate rather than physically harming them, using a subtle amber flash that is dim to people and pets but disruptive to geese.
See Land vs Water to choose your unit and Placement & Coverage to plan how many you need.

How It Works
How Does the Goose Control Beacon Deter Geese?
A 360-degree pulse of amber light at approximately goose eye-level from dusk to dawn interrupts the secure conditions geese prefer when sleeping.
-
Charges During the Day
The integrated solar system recharges the unit while the light is off.
-
Turns On at Dusk
The unit begins operating automatically as geese settle into nighttime roosting areas.
-
Flashes in 360°
A subtle amber flash is emitted roughly every 2 to 3 seconds at goose eye-level.
-
Changes the Habitat
The repeated nighttime disturbance makes the area feel less secure, encouraging geese to relocate to another resting location.
The system is intended to encourage geese to relocate rather than physically harm them. It does not use chemicals, poison, traps or loud harassment devices.
Land vs Water
Should I Choose the Land Unit or Water Unit?
Choose the Land Unit for grass, lawns, yards, fields, gardens and shoreline areas. Choose the Water Unit when geese are sleeping or congregating directly on a pond, lake, retention basin or other waterway.
Land Unit
- Recommended for lawns, yards, fields, gardens and private greenspace
- Stakes securely into the ground
- Installed height: approximately 18 inches, near goose eye-level
- Current manufacturer weight: approximately 3 lbs.
- Current manufacturer dimensions: approximately 4 in. × 18 in.
Water Unit
- Floats in ponds, lakes, retention areas and waterways
- One-piece ABS floating base with added ballast for stability
- Current manufacturer weight: approximately 20 lbs.
- Current manufacturer dimensions: approximately 15 in. wide × 27 in. high
- Approximately 12 in. of the unit sits above the water line
- Requires a tether rope and cinder block or comparable anchor; these are not included with the current manufacturer Water Unit
Placement & Coverage
How Much Area Does One Unit Cover?
Current Away With Geese guidance uses a 100-yard reach in every direction. Its property-analysis guidance states that one properly placed unit can protect up to approximately 6.5 acres when the entire area remains within direct line of sight of the light.
Keep Clear Line of Sight
Trees, buildings, islands, tall vegetation, bends and shoreline features can create blind spots.
Watch Irregular Shorelines
U-shaped ponds, bays, coves or blocked sections may require more than one unit.
Place Where Geese Rest
The light needs to be visible from the areas geese use around dusk, overnight and at dawn.

FAQs
Goose Control Beacon FAQs
Answers about how it works, coverage, placement and results.
How does this Goose Control Beacon work to deter geese?
It uses a 360-degree flashing amber light at approximately goose eye-level from dusk to dawn. The repeated nighttime flash interrupts the secure roosting environment geese prefer and encourages them to move to another habitat.
Is it solar powered, and will I need wiring?
Yes. The unit is solar powered, charges during daylight and operates automatically at night. No external electrical wiring is required for normal operation.
Does it work both on land and on water?
Yes. Select the Land Unit for lawns, fields, gardens and shoreline areas, or the floating Water Unit for ponds, lakes, retention areas and waterways.
What size area does one unit cover?
Current manufacturer guidance uses a 100-yard reach in every direction and states that one properly placed unit can protect up to about 6.5 acres when the full area has direct line of sight to the light.
How soon after installation will geese leave the area?
Results vary. The deterrent begins working at the first dusk after installation, but changing established animal behavior can take time. Proper placement, complete coverage, nesting, goslings and molting can all affect how quickly geese relocate.
Is this safe and humane for geese, pets and people?
The system is chemical-free, silent and designed to alter the nighttime habitat rather than physically harm geese. The manufacturer states that the light is dim to people and pets while being disruptive to the sensitive eyesight of geese.
What are the best placement practices?
Place the unit where its light has a clear line of sight to the areas geese use around dusk, overnight and at dawn. Avoid blind spots created by trees, buildings, tall shoreline vegetation, islands, bends or other obstructions.
Will I need more than one unit?
Possibly. Large properties, U-shaped shorelines, bays, coves, vegetation screens or other blocked sight lines may require multiple units for complete coverage.
Does the unit require regular maintenance, battery changes or replacement parts?
Routine operation is designed to be maintenance-free because the unit charges itself by solar power. Periodically check that the light remains unobstructed, the unit is properly positioned, and the Water Unit tether or Land Unit mounting remains secure.
What should I do if I still see geese after installing the beacon?
First verify the placement, sight lines, number of units, and whether the geese are actually present during dusk, dawn or overnight. Established roosting patterns, nesting, goslings and molting can delay relocation.
Will this work if my geese only visit during the day?
No. Away With Geese is designed for geese that are present around dusk, dawn or overnight. If geese only visit during daylight hours, choose a daytime goose-control method instead.
Is the Water Unit anchor included?
No. The Water Unit requires a tether rope and a cinder block or comparable anchor, which are not included with the current manufacturer Water Unit.

Amazing Results! We Love It!
This is the 4th season we have used Away With Geese after spending tons of time and money on many different systems that didn't even start to work. For many years the geese were taking over... 40-60 in our small bay when the goslings hatched! Each year we have had different results but always a small fraction of what we did have or none at all. We think it depends on when the light is put out. If it's too early they nest where they can't see it and if it's too late the goslings are already mobile. Ideally there would be several in the area that can be moved around to encourage them to move on. We also always have a sturdy 2 foot fence (half a hog panel) along the shore and back along the property line to keep out any that happen to be in the area.
