How do we know the Goose D-Fence is effective at controlling geese?
Researchers have discovered that geese require easy access to food and a drink of water every 30 minutes. By installing this goose deterrent system, you eliminate that access, and the geese will move on to other locations that better suit them.
Why don’t they fly over the goose fence?
During a couple of months each summer, geese shed their feathers and thus lose their ability to fly. During the rest of the summer, they simply prefer not to fly if they don’t have to. By installing the Goose D-Fence close to the water line, you’re eliminating their access, and the geese will move on to other locations that better suit them.
Is the Goose D-Fence more effective than a goose deterrent decoy or chemical goose repellents?
Research has shown that fencing is one of the most effective goose repellents. Methods such as swan or dead goose decoys have been proven to have very little effect because geese quickly learn that a decoy is not a threat. Chemical goose repellents are another option, but they are often expensive and have short term results.
How far should I push the posts in to the ground?
Posts should be about 4 in. to 6 in. into the ground.

This product doesn’t work – geese simply go over, under, or between the lines. If you add mesh to the lines you can make it work. However, it is a hassle to install and take down. The price for these is outrageous given that it’s the same material they have at home depot for a fraction a couple of dollars.

Works well and very inconspicuous (so much so that its easy to walk into it). In second year of use on lakefront property. Easy to retract and move when goose season is (finally) over.

I live on a lake in New Hampshire. We were invaded by Geese last summer 2013. Discovered geese could not fly and our problems were solved by installing goose D-Fence. Once neighbors saw your product and how well it worked. They were amazed. Thanks for coming up with a product that actually works. Bob Quaglin

So much nicer looking than the rinky dink string fench we used put up each year. I take care to clean these up when I take them down each year so in year 4 I replaced the spools. I’m a Very Happy customer! They will up again this spring for year 5.

CHEAP! I have always used stakes and string in the past for my goose problem which has worked well. I started to create my own version of the goose d-fence until finding this online. I was very excited. Not so much anymore. It is very cheaply made and the string does not retract after being pulled out, not even all the way out. Too bad because I was going to design one that works much better. For those with a goose problem, use stakes and string. You may have to chase the geese one time for the system to work. This confuses them if they have to run into the string. After that, they do not come back for a year!!

Was very excited when i purchased this product. Easy to set up, kept the geese away from my property. Upon taking it down the 1st time the unit will not retract back in! So now Im stuck with taking it all apart and hopefully putting it back together in 1 piece! For spending $95 for this and a couple of extra poles. I am very disappointed. Wanted something easy to set up and take down when I have company down by the lake. If this happens on a routine basis, this product will soon be available for free at my local dump!

Put the goose fence up and the geese just walk right onto the beach between the lines. Doesn’t work at all.

Why spend the $$ when all you need is cheap twine and a lot of wood stakes . Works the same only you cant retract it. Ive used this method when the geese come in and think they own the place. They hate stepping over the twine, and afraid to go under it too.

The Goose D-Fence System has really worked for our pond. We used 3 systems to make it all the way around, and while a pair of geese may still occasionally stop by, they don’t stay! We are so glad we found this solution. Thank you!

I made a presentation to our condo association to purchase the Goose D-Fence and with the approval, wondered if it would really work. It worked! Only took a couple days for the 75 geese on our pond bank to leave and they never came back! Great product!

It’s crazy good! I had over a hundred geese on my gorgeous lawn on the Deschutes River. We put up the fence and put away the BB gun. Not that I wanted to KILLED THEM…JUST ANNOY THEM! This is an awesome product! We’re so happy to have our yard back. No more dodging the huge piles of poo! 🙂 Thank you!

I have been using this fence system for years now. We tried all kinds of other solutions but this works the best. It’s wonderful to see multiple families of geese swim right by and not even attempt to come on-shore.

Very Disappointed. My intended use for the D-Fence was to put the lines up and down multiple times a week(For mowing and if people were over). The reel function malfunctions when it’s used this much. When you are pulling the line out the screw that attaches the wheel comes out when you reel it in the screw over tightens so you have to have a screwdriver handy at all times to loosen it multiple times. I bought two of the fences and had the same issue on both. When the lines are out they work great but the reeling in portion was a bust. Also, lines are not very visible which is nice but hard for kids to see. I see this only working if you leave the lines up at all times. I ended up throwing away both units.

The fence has worked well for several weeks and no geece in the yard. However, today there were some geece and they just breezed right through the wires. I need to add a third line to stop them but do not know how to order the pole hooks for the line.

This product works! It works very well on our pond. Several neighbors use this system and none of us have a goose problem. The line is thin and difficult to see. I use the small flags used in dog training or underground pipe indicators when contractors and grandchildren are around.

I’m amazed at how well this product works. Fast shipping, easy to use, visually unobtrusive, I couldn’t be happier! It’s as if I have a dome over my shoreline now. The geese have been bad this year with a group at times as large as 50 birds. For the past month i was spending over an hour every evening with a garden hose trying to clean up after them. Within hours of installing, I watched a large flock approach, make several attempts only to turn and leave. It has been a couple of weeks now of goose free lakefront living, thank you! I used two of the fences with one additional pole for my application. Highly recommend this product! I enjoy watching the geese again because they stay on the lake and not on my property.

I have been fighting geese for the last couple of years. When you live on a lake, you learn to disdain these creatures from the droppings they leave and the impact of bacteria they leave on your beach. Kids love to play on the beach and with the goose droppings, it can potentially make them ill, let alone smelling like a cow field. We will have 30+ geese swim and lay their big butts on our grass/sand. When I put this up along the water front at the water edge and along part of the yard, the geese arrived at 5:45am sharp and looked confused. They saw the line and sat in the water wondering what they should do. To my joy, they all turned around and went else where….thank you Goose D-Fence! My neighbor came over and he said he would buy one immediately! The two line is a huge different versus any flashy streamers or fake animals..ive tried lots of things! highly recommend!

I installed the Goose D-Fence system with 7 additional posts, and I used all the posts within a 65 yard distance along my St. Lawrence riverfront property. Unfortunately the geese went right through the thin wire, which broke within 3 days. I do love the posts, which I now use to hold up the plastic fencing I bought at the local garden store.

I received and installed the fencing system last evening. This morning a flock of geese attempted to access my property and quickly gave up and turned away when they encountered the fence. Works exactly as advertised and definitely made my day. Thanks for a great product!

Thank you so much for giving me peace of mind and saving my yard! We were having 12-18 Geese visit our river shore front property each day and they were messing it up terribly. We installed your Goose Fence and they have not been on our property since! Most of them have left the area, however, there are some left that go on our neighbors property but not ours! It is a strong and sturdy system too … we actually had a tornado hit here last month. A tree fell on the 2 wires and although the bottom one snapped, the top one is still in tact and the Geese continue to stay away! Your Goose D-Fence System has reduced my stress and brought back peace to my world – thank you! …. Written by Sheri, A Completely Satisfied Customer in Elizabeth City, NC
