Wild Geese on the Fields – How to Effectively Prevent a Goose Invasion
By the hundreds, wild geese (barnacle geese, greylag geese, white-fronted geese) settle on the coast for overwintering. While the calm shallow water zones of the Wadden Sea and the Elbe River provide protection and rest at night, by day they forage on grassland and arable land in search of food.
Why wild geese become a plague on farmland
The freshly sown plants on agricultural lands are especially protein-rich and nutritious – one reason why geese prefer these areas. Compared to natural wet meadows or salt marshes, the cereal fields and arable lands are a true delicacy for wild geese. The damage that geese inflict on fields can cause immense economic harm and put agricultural production at risk.
Soil compaction and contamination by wild geese
Besides the tremendous feeding damage, geese compact the soil during their foraging. This leads to poor water absorption and long‑term damage to the plants. Additionally, geese leave large amounts of droppings, which not only lead to hygiene issues but also negatively affect plant growth.
How to reliably drive away wild geese – Effective deterrence solutions
In order to permanently keep wild geese away from your arable lands, effective deterrent measures are necessary. There are various methods that can be adapted individually depending on the scale and impact. In addition to possibly redesigning the environment to create alternative refuge areas, specially developed bird control systems are available to drive geese away in the long term.
Repelling geese with noise barrage devices
The Purivox noise‑barrage devices are one of the most effective methods for bird control. With the various adjustment options of these devices, you prevent geese from becoming accustomed to the noise level. Bird control becomes particularly effective with the use of a digital timer, allowing you to set different daily programs. The Purivox FUNK Karussell Triplex V is the top model, which allows you to control the device either via a random automatic program, manually via remote control, or in a combination of both.
Goose deterrence using laser technology
Laser deterrence is especially effective in the winter months, as well as at dusk and night, as a method for wild goose control. The green laser beam triggers an immediate flight instinct in the birds, causing them to leave the fields and arable areas. This method is particularly environmentally friendly and offers high effectiveness.
Drive away geese using birds‑of‑prey decoys
The lifelike replicas of birds of prey produce natural bird control. Geese can hardly tell the difference from a real predator, because the decoy makes unpredictable movements in the wind. By regularly changing the location of the decoy, the deterrent effect can be increased further.

The Purivox Carousel Triplex V with analogue time switch is a rotating gas cannon for bird control for large areas. The tripod allows the unit to stand securely on any surface. The Purivox Carousel Triplex V is used for fruit growing, viticulture, vegetable growing, arable farming, fish farming and on waste disposal sites. Due to its special design, the complete top structure is pivoted. When the device is triggered at random intervalls, the top structure starts to rotate due to the recoil. The two following shots cover an area of 360° around the unit. Various adjustment possibilities offer an individual adaptaion to the respective bird control. With the help of the electronic unit, the number of shots, irregular pause times as well as the volume can be adjusted in two steps. Furthermore, the analogue 24h time switch allows the adjustement of active and rest times. Operating principle The reliable 3-times shot enables the best possible bird control. The first shot will startle the birds and cause them to fly up. The second shot is fired shortly after the birds fly up and prevents them from settling down again. With the following third shot, the animals are finally chased away. How to set the electronic unit:
The bird of prey kite (falcon or eagle) is an environmentally friendly and noiseless way for effective bird control. Therefore the kite can be used in the immediate vicinity of residential areas. The polyethylene fibre is: extremely tearproof, waterproof, very light. Due to the very low weight, the kite moves even in light wind. The rod is attached with the help of a ground mount. The Bird of prey kite is used for fruit growing, viticulture, vegetable growing, arable farming, fish farming and on waste disposal sites. Operating principle The rising and wing-beating falcon/eagle causes a natural bird control of numerous bird species. Due to the very detailed replica of a falcon/eagle, other birds cannot tell the difference to a real falcon/eagle. For most birds, the falcon/eagle is a natural enemy. Therefore they avoid the areas where the falcon/eagle is located. Even a light breeze can provide a lasting and immediate defence.
The BirdGard Super Pro PA4 is an acoustic device for bird and wildlife control for large areas up to 2.4 hectares. The device has a built-in high-performance amplifier and the possibility of connection four external speakers (1x included in delivery, additional speakers available separately). Each speaker covers up to 1.5 acres (0.6 hectares). All components are placed in a robust and weatherproof enclosure. The external loudspeakers are also weatherproof. The device uses pressure chamber loudspeakers, which are specially designed for bird and wildlife species whose warning sounds have a low frequency range. The BirdGard Super Pro PA4 can be easily mounted on a post, fence or directly on the trees using the supplied mounting plate. The device is used in viticulture, fruit and vegetable farms, fish farming, industrial buildings, boats and much more. Operating principle The BirdGard Super Pro PA4 emits at irregular and freely adjustable intervals the fear, warning and panic cries of the bird/game species selected when purchasing the product. The built-in sound chip contains eight different fear and panic cries of birds/wildlife in combination with raptor sounds. The sound chip can be exchanged with other bird/wildlife species if required. Hearing these cries triggers an escape instinct among the animals and they leave the area. To avoid habituation, only four voices should be active at the same time. For optimal bird/wildlife control the voices must be changed every 5-4 days and the break times adjusted if necessary. The power supply is usually provided by a 12V car battery (not included) or by a suitable power supply unit (not included). The following settings can be adjusted individually: infinitely adjustable volume, manual selection of bird cries as well as an automatic start at sunrise and shutdown at sunset or a 24h mode.
