GOOSEBUSTER® SONIC GOOSE DETERRENT SYSTEM
DESIGNED TO DISCOURAGE CANADA GOOSE ACTIVITY USING RECORDED GOOSE SOUNDS
GooseBuster® is a sonic bird deterrent designed specifically to help discourage Canada geese from outdoor areas. Informed by research into Canada goose behavior and vocal communication, the system broadcasts authentic recordings of alert and alarm calls. Alert calls communicate a potential threat, while alarm calls signal a more immediate disturbance.
GooseBuster® varies the frequency, duration, and combination of these calls to produce changing sound patterns. These signals may cause geese to perceive the treated area as higher risk, encouraging them to move away and seek another location.
- Fully programmable playback of recorded goose alarm, alert, and predator sounds
- Four-speaker system with coverage for areas up to 4 acres
- Designed to discourage Canada goose activity in treated outdoor areas
- Includes installation consultation
- 30 Day Electronics Performance Satisfaction Guarantee
International voltage options available upon request.
The four-speaker GooseBuster® provides coverage of up to 4 acres. Programmable settings allow operation to be customized for site-specific conditions, with optional coyote bark and simulated gunshot sounds available. The weather-resistant control box is designed for outdoor use.
Dr. Philip Whitford has studied Canada goose behavior and vocal communication since 1979. He holds a PhD in biological sciences with a focus on animal behavior, along with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in wildlife management. His research and recordings of Canada goose alarm calls informed the development of GooseBuster® and its species-specific sound technology. The system has also been evaluated through university-led studies examining Canada goose responses to its recorded calls.
Original research paper: Successful Use of Alarm and Alert Calls to Reduce Emerging Crop Damage by Resident Canada Geese
A big “Thank you” to Bird-X! We have had a problem for years with Geese in our picnic area. We ordered the Goose Buster just as a goose had made a nest and laid eggs. Each time the device went off the goose looked up nervously. Once the goslings were hatched they moved out completely! Thanks again! – Bill from Southfield, MI
Geese are gone from our putting greens. We installed the Goose Buster on an island green where we had most of our problems with geese. An operator manned the unit and the results seem to be fantastic. I feel confident that we have finally won the battle against geese! – Du P. from South Africa
Effective and easy to assemble. It is early days but the Goose Buster seems to be very effective so far in discouraging the infestation of resident geese on my small island in a lake in Ontario. It is very easy to set up and the variety of the random distress calls should keep the geese guessing for quite a while. It might be good if it were possible to buy a recording of additional distress calls to add to the variety, since is suspect that after a while the geese will cotton on to the fact that the pre-programmed distress calls are repeating. – L. McCaw from Canada
Weather-resistant design allows for use in various outdoor locations, designed to deter waterfowl.

Features & Benefits
- Species-Specific Sonic Technology: Broadcasts authentic Canada goose alert and alarm calls to help create an environment geese may perceive as higher risk.
- Changing Sound Patterns: Varies call frequency, duration, sequence, and speaker selection to reduce predictable playback patterns.
- Four-Speaker Coverage: Provides sound distribution across outdoor areas of up to 4 acres.
- 100-Foot Speaker Cables: Each speaker includes 100 feet of cable for flexible placement throughout the treated area.
- Sequential Speaker Output: Rotates calls among the four speakers to create the impression of sound coming from multiple locations.
- Programmable Operation: Adjustable volume, sound intervals, and operating schedules allow the system to be configured for site-specific bird activity.
- Weather-Resistant Control Box: Designed to support operation in outdoor environments.
- Flexible Speaker Placement: Speakers can be positioned and aimed toward shorelines, property boundaries, feeding areas, and other locations where geese gather.
