🐻 Peanuts leave behind scent & oil, attracting bears. Never feed peanuts to birds on your property! Note - Bird feeding of any kind is banned in Pine Mountain Club.
🐻 Lock your Vehicle Doors EVERY time you exit your vehicle. Remove food, trash, crumbs, gum/mints, pet treats, etc.
🐻 Lock your home doors 24/7.
🐻 Bears will enter low windows and sliders that are open to a screen. They push in the screen or pull it off and enter a home in less than 10 seconds.
🐻 Any pet food placed outside must be supervised and removed when the pet is no longer eating it. Pet food dropped on a deck or concrete leaves behind scent. In the best interest of the bears that wander PMC, feed your pets inside to stop accidental consumption of pet food by a bear.
🐻 Make sure your grease trap on your BBQ is clean. Also, burn off any greasy residue every time you BBQ.
🐻 Pick up dog p**p frequently.
🐻 Doggy Doors are NOT safe. Last year, multiple bears used doggy doors to access homes.
☎️ If a Bear consumes ANY attractant on your property, get proper Bear help to avoid worse damage when the bear returns.  A BEAR obtaining food from any property outside begins the escalation of deck-checking & visits the property hoping to score more calories. 🐻
