Goose Control Beacon - Do Away With Geese
Looking for a way to keep geese off of 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.
Away With Geese operates automatically from dusk to dawn. The unit sends a 360-degree amber flash at approximately goose eye-level, disturbing 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.
Away With Geese has the power to annoy geese enough that they move and locate a different nighttime home farther away. Because geese tend to remain close to the areas where they feel secure at night, disrupting that nighttime roosting pattern can also discourage daily returns to your lawn, shoreline, pond, or lakefront.
Important: This is a dusk-to-dawn goose deterrent. 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.
Why control nuisance geese?
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.

How It Works
How does the Goose Control Beacon deter geese?
The Goose Control Beacon uses a 360-degree pulse of amber light at approximately goose eye-level from dusk to dawn to interrupt the secure conditions geese prefer when sleeping.
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 for installation; these are not included with the current manufacturer Water Unit
Placement & Coverage
How much area does one Away With Geese unit cover?
Current Away With Geese guidance uses a 100-yard reach in every direction. Its current 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.
FAQs
Goose Control Beacon FAQs
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.
Yes. The unit is solar powered, charges during daylight, and operates automatically at night. No external electrical wiring is required for normal operation.
Yes. Select the Land Unit for lawns, fields, gardens, and shoreline areas, or the floating Water Unit for ponds, lakes, retention areas, and waterways.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Possibly. Large properties, U-shaped shorelines, bays, coves, vegetation screens, or other blocked sight lines may require multiple units for complete coverage.
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.
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. Additional placement guidance may be needed for properties with blind spots.
No. Away With Geese is designed for geese that are present around dusk, dawn, or overnight. If the geese only visit during daylight hours, choose a daytime goose-control method instead.
Warranty & Guarantee
Two-Year Parts Warranty
Away With Geese products carry a two-year manufacturer parts warranty. The manufacturer states that covered parts, including the light assembly, may be replaced for up to two years after the original purchase when the product has been used as directed and has not been physically damaged or vandalized.

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.
