Duck Off: The Leader in Duck and Goose Deterrents for Boaters

WE ARE DUCKOFF


Duck Off was founded to solve a frustrating and universal problem for boaters: duck and goose droppings covering swim platforms. If you’ve spent any time on the water, you know the pain—every lake, every river, every weekend. That’s why we created Duck Off—to give boaters a real solution that works.

Our founder and CEO, Michael Seymore, is no stranger to boating. With over 26 years of experience navigating the Great Lakes, he understands the lifestyle and the challenges that come with it. As the captain of La Buena Vida, a Carver 506 Motor Yacht, Michael has cruised from the Detroit River through Lake Huron, the Straits of Mackinac, down the entire west coast of Lake Michigan, into Chicago, and up through Wisconsin’s Door County. He’s faced every boating condition imaginable—and knows exactly what boaters need.

At Duck Off, we’re boaters too. We know how much you invest in your boat, and we believe it should always look its best. There’s nothing worse than showing up for a relaxing day on the water only to find your swim platform trashed by birds.

OUR INDUSTRY

What We Doing

Watching a hawk soar overhead a

Mallard duck drift peacefully, or a blue heron wade along the shore are some of the simple pleasures that make time at the marina so enjoyable. But that enjoyment quickly fades when birds leave behind a mess—or worse, decide to make your swim platform or dock their home.

Boaters have tried everything

to keep birds away: plastic owls, reflective tape, aluminum pie plates, even marina dogs. But most of these methods offer little more than frustration. Fortunately, there’s a more effective solution showing real promise—the DUCK OFF Laser Defender.

Birds nesting or resting

on your boat don’t just make things unsightly—they leave behind acidic droppings that can damage gelcoat, outboard engines, and more. The mess is tough to clean, smells unpleasant, and hurts the overall look and value of your boat.

So what can boat owners do?

Ditch the gimmicks and try something that actually works. DUCK OFF uses advanced laser technology to safely, humanely, and effectively deter birds—without harming them or your boat.

OUR SOLUTIONS

Advanced Laser Bird Deterrents

Duck Off utilizes cutting-edge laser technology to safely and effectively deter ducks, geese, and other nuisance birds—without causing them harm. These lasers create visual patterns that birds interpret as threats, making your swim platform appear unsafe and unwelcoming.

Our custom-designed “fat laser” lights simulate the movement of predators, triggering a natural fear response in birds like swallows and seagulls. With consistent use, birds learn to avoid the area entirely—transforming your platform into a bird-free zone for good.

Unlike traditional deterrents like plastic owls or noise devices, the Duck Off Laser Defender offers a safe, humane, and eco-friendly alternative. It operates automatically, turning on at dusk and off at dawn—just set it and forget it.

No mess. No stress. Just clean, bird-free boating—day after day.

BEFORE BIRDS ARRIVE

One of the biggest challenges in bird control is timing. Ideally, deterrents should be installed before nuisance birds arrive. But for marinas with year-round bird activity, that’s rarely an option. And at seasonal marinas, when spring rolls around, most boaters are focused on launching—not on the birds that will soon follow.

Once ducks and geese have settled in, they become much harder to remove. Fortunately, DUCK OFF has been proven effective not only at preventing new arrivals but also at driving out birds that have already made themselves at home.

Take Back Control of your Docks

ducks and geese leaving unsanitary droppings on the dock? It's unsightly and it can be slippery, making the docks hazardous? Are you tired of wasting time and money cleaning duck and goose droppings off your docks? Unfortunately it's every day without a break or any results. Some marinas spend $10,000 or more just in labor and cleaning supplies per season. Sick of the damage to docks, equipment, and your grass, creating unsightly patches around your beautiful facility? And what about your guest boats?

Bird Management Company LLC uses the XRP AI Smart Laser Bird Repellent, an advanced, proven technology to eliminate duck and geese from the marina. Getting rid of droppings—permanently from your docks. No more dock hands putting three and four hours a day in scrubbing docks. Just effective, reliable deterrents that work—every time!

The XRP AI Smart Laser is an automated laser bird deterrent system that drives birds away and keeps them away 24/7.

How it works

Laser Dock Defender and How it Works

Birds have a much higher density of photoreceptors in their eyes. This allows them to detect more light and see finer details. It also allows them to see ultraviolet (UV) light, which the human eye cannot see, enhancing their ability to perceive color and patterns in their environment.

The XRP AI Smart Laser Bird Repellent casts a beam of green light that runs along your dock system and any other problem areas like picnic areas or play areas. It repeats this process over and over every night in its pre programed pattern driving all pest birds from the marina. Birds see this moving laser as a physical threat.You and I would see a green dot on the dock, but the birds see the entire beam from start to finish. The birds see this as an imminent physical threat and flee. Laser bird deterrents are the most documented and successful pest bird deterrent systems available today.

You can program and monitor your XRP AI Smart Bird Repellent through your IOS and Android apps on your phone. A one time investment of an XRP AI Smart Laser Bird Repellent will save the marina tens of thousands of dollars a year on labor and supplies every year into perpetuity.
