The White Swan is a perfect addition. Use for decor or to deter Canada Geese more economically and without all the costs, hazards, and time required when spraying repellents. White Swans are very territorial, making it great to keep geese away! Mute swans aggressively protect their young from Canada Geese, making this swan an effective deterrent as part of an overall repellent strategy. Head and neck can be adjusted for a realistic look. This plastic decoy may be free floated, or secured in the water with string or decoy weights. It may also be secured on shore with two steel anchoring stakes (included). Decoy should be moved periodically to increase effectiveness and used with other deterrent methods. Our White Swan Decoy will help deter Canada Geese from landing in your pond or water garden. White Swans are very territorial and will fight off most intruders who venture into their area. Geese will not want to confront an angry White Swan and most times will choose another body of water to land in. This beautiful, hand painted floating swan is the perfect addition to any pond or backyard setting. Made from durable, lightweight polymer, this swan is decorated with all weather and non-fading paint to withstand different types of climates. If you do not tether the swan decoy, make sure to move it around so the Canada Geese think it is real. This will increase effectiveness. If it is left in the same location, the geese will quickly figure out the decoy is fake and will not be afraid of it. Great for use with other deterrent methods like the Coyote and allowing the first 2' of growth next to the pond to be allowed to grow tall and wild. This will help keep the geese off your lawn. Customers have reported back that they have much better control of Canada Geese when 2 swan decoys are used instead of one. This is because real swans mate for life and a pair is more likely to be more territorial than a lone swan. Geese know this and will stay clear of the area
