The Goosinator, a new device designed to fight the ongoing battle to rid parks, golf courses and other outdoor areas of Canada geese, has arrived in the UK, and has already been successfully deployed.
Canada geese have become a health and safety problem for golf courses, parks, schools, racecourses, stately homes, cricket clubs and airports across the UK. Geese consume 4 lbs of grass every day and their faeces can cause salmonella and E. coli poisoning. “The average Canada goose can produce one to two pounds of droppings every day,” Mary Felegy, president of Fair Game Goose Control in Congers, N.Y., told the New York Times.
The Goosinator is made of hi strength foam, shaped like a predator, with an electric motor that glides on grass, water, ice and snow. It’s controlled remotely, so the user can scatter the geese from a distance. Geese learn not to return to the original area through behaviour modification, thus ensuring a humane approach to eliminating geese from the land.
Jeremy from Goosebusters, said: “The Goosinator gives new meaning to the term ‘wild goose chase.’ The threat geese pose to prestigious grounds is wildly under estimated – they can ruin the land that professional ground people work so hard to maintain whilst also spreading disease. Geese are rightly protected by laws prohibiting culling, which means areas affected are increasingly desperate for a humane and long term solution. This is where the Goosinator comes in!"
The Goosinator is available on a pay as you go service.
