Coyote Decoy Repels Pest Geese MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Pest Animals 32-1-25 Wild geese may think twice about landing in your yard or around your pond if they think they see a stalking coyote. Chicago-based Bird-X has been making and selling bird control products since 1964 and introduced the 3-D coyote in 2007.
"Our methods are non-lethal and humane," Zemsky says. "We solve the problem at the source. Nobody wants goose droppings on their lawn." The droppings can be a liability if someone slips and falls. They can also carry more than 60 diseases.
The coyote decoy is 3D so geese see it from every angle. Mounted on a center stake - with a real tail - the coyote moves with the wind.
Since geese are smart, Zemsky recommends moving the coyote around the area where geese congregate. It can be discreetly placed near vegetation or in areas that aren't as visible to humans. "We recommend one to four coyotes per acre," Zemsky says.
The coyotes work in a variety of locations and work on other pests besides geese - any pest animal that coyotes naturally prey on. The 3D coyotes sell for $59 each or $52.50 each for six or more.
