Product Description

Canadian geese used to be an endangered species - not any more. If you have a lake, pond or even a stubborn puddle on your property, geese are liable to visit and leave a few, ahem, calling cards. Keep these unwanted visitors away with the Gator Guard. This realistic floating alligator head is a threatening 25in.L and moves and bobs with the water. It features life-like eyes that flash in the light. Even if you live hundreds of miles away from alligator habitat, geese will mistake the Gator Guard for the real thing and stay away. You can let the Gator Guard float freely or the anchor can be attached to an eyehook if desired. Covers up to one acre! Constructed of durable weatherproof urethane foam with UV protected coating. Besides geese, the Gator Guard also chases away cormorants and other waterfowl, and small animals as well. U.S.A.

5.0 out of 5 stars Has worked great. Haven't lost a Koi since!!!, May 31, 2009

I bought the original design about 5 years ago after losing half my Koi from our pond. After the 3rd year, the eyes 'dulled' and didn't look real. (we lost a couple more fish---not realizing what had happened)

I replaced it with a new 'Gator Guard' and all is well again. I would suggest replacing it after 2 or 3 years. I'm going to see if I can purchase the plastic eyes in the future & save some $$$.

I live in Point Pleasant, NJ. This thing has saved my fish.
Sorry to see that some people haven't had the same luck.

Not only has it saved my fish, but keeps the ducks and heron and any other large birds from my property and above ground pool ever since. I let it float on the water and the water is always moving via the waterfall or the fish swimming. 5 stars from me!

Delivery was FAST. The alligator head is "okay". Unfortunately, it sinks more than half-way in the water or tilting way over to the side. Time will tell if it helps keep the birds away.

We had a big problem with ducks from local ponds wanting to make new homes in our swimming pool. Gator head to the rescue. It went together easily and does the job. Makes a great pool conversation piece, too. Ducks are gone.
