Floating Alligator Head Repels Geese, Heron and More

This life-sized floating alligator head scares geese, ducks, fish-eating birds and small animals from ponds. It moves and bounces with the wind and the mirrored eyes reflect the sun so birds think this predator is watching their every move. GatorGuard from Bird-X works in all geographic areas, even those that have never seen alligators, because the pest birds have instinctive fear, not necessarily experienced fear. The pests recognize predator-like patterns and flee. GatorGuard is made of durable, UV-treated urethane foam and includes an eye-hook for anchoring. It’s environmentally friendly, unassuming and ideal for any water areas infested by birds. Visit www.bird-x.com or call 800/662-5021 for more information.
