I've been using an Away With Geese water based unit for a year. It hasn't worked that well for me. I had a nesting pair last spring that was very difficult to 'discourage'. Lead doesn't work and is not easy to use due to a road and house in the area. Last night I was in the canoe to chase 25 geese away - at 8pm, well after dark - the strobe light didn't seem to bother them at all. Keep in mind that during the day the light is not on and does nothing to discourage migrating geese from stopping by for the day. In fact there are 20 that just landed in the pond 5 minutes ago.
I'm thinking bottle rockets and a remote control boat. If I can find an RC boat with a light all the better so I can use it after dark and not lose track of it.
