BEARS and Burros
Bears and Burros are like frenemies. Find out how to help bears not die and keep your trash in the can.
Burros and Bears are like frenemies. Bears are like, ‘Burros have humans trained good, they get food brought to them, but man, they really need to chill, so noisy.’
Burros are like, ‘Bears are cool and all but they also need to chill. Too much shredding and making giant messes and all.’
Get your trash can secured. Bears are around and they make huge messes and risk their own lives by getting used to human food, they could get shot for being too close to humans too often (boo!), or our plastics can make them sick - their fat sharp paws are not good for sorting good foods from the dangerous materials. Bring cans into garage or shed if you can or at least bungee it down real good and don’t put trash out until 7am (get up you lazy butt - or the bears will die). The can may get tossed around but trash won’t come out and they’ll give up. Also works for coons, skunks, squirrels, Squatches and Yetis.
If you need help and your trash keeps spilling we can install a burro “Bugger Off” strap or two on your can at $50 each, just let us know by giving us a call or emailing us!
