Bear Sightings
Members of Peterborough County OPP have received complaints from residents and cottagers regarding bear activity. These incidents are County wide and not limited to just the northern and eastern Townships.
The majority of bear complaints have been of the nuisance variety but there has been one incident where lethal force had to be used by officers.
Police advise home and cottage owners to follow a few simple tips to help keep your family and pets from encountering a bear in your area. By following these tips you can avoid attracting bears to your property; however a nuisance bear can be reported at anytime by contacting the Ministry of Natural Resources Hotline at 1-866-514-2327 or the OPP at 1-888-310-1122
Garbage:
- Eliminate odours. Put garbage in containers that have tight fitting lids, and only put it out on the morning of garbage day, not the night before
- Whenever possible, store garbage in bear-resistant containers, or indoors (house, shed, garage). Do not store garbage in plywood boxes, old freezers or vehicles
- Put meat scraps in the freezer until garbage day
- If you do not have curb side pick up, take your garbage to the dump often
- Frequently wash garbage cans and recycle containers and lids with a strong smelling disinfectant
Bird/Pet food:
- Fill bird feeders only through the winter months
- Do not leave pet food outdoors. Feed pets indoors, not outside or in screened in areas or porches
Fruits/Vegetables/Compost:
- Avoid landscaping with trees, shrubs or plants that produce food known to attract bears (some examples include crab apple trees, mountain ash, beech and oak)
- Do not put meat, fish or sweet food (including fruit) in your composter
- Remove vegetables and fallen fruit from the ground
- Pick all ripe fruit from trees and bushes
Smells:
- Be aware that cooking odours can attract bears
- Remove grease and food residue from barbecue grills, including the grease cup underneath, after each use
