While the video appears adorable and light-hearted in nature, LASD'sis alerting the public on social media to be mindful of bear encounters possibly being more common this spring and summer. LASD's Crescenta Valley referred to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's guide on "bear-proofing" your home and/or campsite. Do not toss food scraps out into the yard.Wait to put trash out until the morning of waste collection day.
Do not leave any scented products outside, even non-food items such as suntan lotion, insect repellent, soap or candles.Consider installing motion-detector alarms and/or electric fencing.Consider composting bins as opposed to open composting.Avoid using bear spray around the property – when it dries, it can serve as an attractant.Harvest fruit off trees as soon as it is ripe, and promptly collect fruit that falls.
If a bear breaks into your home, do not attempt to confront the bear. Give the bear an escape route. If the bear cannot make its way out, go to a safe place and call 911.for more information from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
