It’s that time of year when bears are looking to bulk up for winter and are trying to find food. We hear they are getting into people’s garbage bins in the community. Some steps you can take to make your home less attractive to bears include:
- Feed pets and store your pet food inside
- Secure garbage bins with lids
Cleaning or keeping garbage bins smells to a minimum (putting baking soda in the bottom of the bin will reduce odours)
Freeze smelly food items until you are ready to take the garbage to the landfill, or it is garbage collection day
