Deter Canada geese (Branta canadensis) before they begin nesting with Bird-X’s GooseBuster Pro, a powerful single-speaker sonic deterrent system. By emitting naturally recorded alert and distress calls from the geese, combined with predator sounds, the GooseBuster Pro creates an environment that feels unsafe for geese, encouraging them to avoid areas within a 1.5-acre radius.

When battling red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta, or RIFA), the best defense is a strong offense. RIFA is an invasive species from South America. The ants thrive across the Southern United States and will attack suddenly by stinging repeatedly when threatened. These stings can cause itchy welts, pain and even severe allergic reactions in animals and humans. We recommend a granular treatment as your best line of attack.
