Bear safety tips.

Is your home or rental unintentionally feeding bears?

★ Barbecues
Always clean up any spills, wipe down all the surfaces and thoroughly clean your grill, including the drip tray and grease pan. Put trash and leftovers in bear-resistant containers or take inside. Don’t leave trash, empty cans and bottles or anything else with an odor on your porch or anywhere else bears could access it.

★ Gardens and Orchards
Harvest fruits, nuts and garden produce. Many orchardists advise harvesting fruit a day or two before it’s fully ripe. Pick up any fallen produce daily. If you home-can fruit or veggies, don’t cool them on the porch.

★ Compost
Don’t add pungent items such as meat, melon rinds, or sweet-smelling foods to your compost pile. Cover any food scraps with plenty of yard debris, grass clippings, sawdust or shredded paper to help contain odors. Regularly turn the pile and add lime to reduce odors. Consider using a hard, durable bin with a sturdy cover you can lock or installing an electric fence to keep bears away.

★ Chickens, Livestock and Bees
Honey, bee larva, chickens and other small livestock, eggs and feed all attract hungry bears. Install electric fencing and motion-detecting lights around chicken coops, beehives and livestock enclosures.

★ Bird Feeders
Resist the urger to hang feeders as bears can smell birdseed from more than a mile away. Natural foods for birds are widely available in the fall when plants are going to seed.

★ Garbage
Shorter days and longer nights give bears more time to roam neighborhoods looking for food. Use bear-resistant trash containers or keep trash inside a sturdy locked building until the morning of pick up.

★ Pets
Feed pets indoors. If you must feed outside, remove bowls as soon as your pet is finished eating and keep the surrounding area clean. Odors from pet food can linger for hours, so be sure to check the yard before you or your pet go outside.

Taking precautions now will help you prevent problems around your home and help keep bears wild.

What bears get up to in September.

What are bears up to in September? Their eating goes into hyperdrive. In the cooler days of September, most bears are very focused on finding as much food and gaining as much weight as possible. When the eating is good, a bear can put on two to three pounds a day. By hibernation time many bears will have added about 4 inches of fat and gained between 20% and 50% of their summer body weight. The quest for calories normally keeps bears active and foraging up to 20 hours a day.

But finding food isn’t always easy. Bears will go to great lengths to get their paws on natural foods. Weather extremes and natural disasters across the country play a big part in the availability of natural foods bears depend on. Spring freezes, wildfires, searing heat, torrential rains and droughts all impact food supplies. Continuing human development in bear country can also make it harder for bears to access natural foods in many areas.

Bears will be working hard to find food this fall. Please don’t give hungry bears any reason to come exploring.

And no matter how much you want to make sure bears den up with full tummies, feeding bears is never a solution. Bears will find food; JUST DON’T LET THEM FIND ANY AT YOUR PLACE.
