If you live, work or play in bear land, know how to keep yourself safe. Items with strong odors, such as food or garbage, should be kept away from campsites, vehicles, and homes. However, if you encounter a bear, don’t panic; you should keep yourself safe by leaving the area. If attacked by a bear, use pepper spray to stop it, whether it’s a black bear or a grizzly bear.
Steps
Prevent bears from entering the house

Cover litter with a bear repellent trash can. Bears are often attracted to the smell of food, so they love to dig through garbage. The locking lid of the trash can repels bears that can keep bears away. They are also sturdier than other trash cans. [1] X Research Source
- Another option is to place the trash can inside a locked warehouse.
- Dispose of garbage at the same time as garbage collection.
- Wrap an extra trash bag outside to prevent odors. Clean trash cans regularly to remove residual odors. You can also pour ammonia into the trash to reduce the chances of bears rummaging through the trash. [2] X Research Source
- Never mix bleach and ammonia, as this will create toxic gases.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5c/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-2-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-2-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5c/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-2-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-2-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Remove bird food from the yard during the summer months. Bears are omnivores, which means they eat both meat and plants. They are ready to rob the local bird millet. Bears, after waking up from hibernation in the summer, will often come to your yard to look for their favorite foods. [3] X Research Sources
- If there is a bird feeder, hang it up high. Hang at least 3m from the ground, and do not place near surrounding trees. Also, make sure to clear the millet from the feeder regularly.
- If you see a bear near a bird feeder, stop bringing millet to your bird for at least a month. [4] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/83/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-3-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-3-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/83/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-3-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-3-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Plant fruit trees away from home. Like millet for birds, fruit can attract bears to your home, especially if you haven’t harvested it yet. If you like fruit trees, don’t plant them right next to the house, but instead, arrange the planting location as far away as possible. Plant it at the end of your yard or yard. [5] X Research Sources
- Also, pick ripe or near-ripe berries. Sweep up all fallen and damaged fruit.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/41/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-4-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-4-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/41/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-4-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-4-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Avoid leaving pet food outside, especially at night. Any food source can attract bears, including food for outdoor pets like dogs and livestock. If you must leave food outside to feed your pets, bring it indoors after dark, when bears are usually prowling and looking for food. [6] X Research Source
- If you need to store food outside, use an airtight, odorless container. [7] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/bb/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-5-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-5-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/bb/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-5-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-5-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Compost and wooden stakes at the end of your property. Food contained in compost can attract bears to the area, especially strongly scented fruits such as melons or pineapples. Wooden stakes can attract insects and small animals, which are also food for bears. [8] X Research Sources
- Avoid putting strong-smelling fruits in your compost, as this will attract bears.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/37/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-6-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-6-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/37/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-6-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-6-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Clean the grill after each use. Remove food debris from the griddle by setting it on fire. Use a brush to clean the grill while the grill is still warm. As the griddle cools, scrub the grill with a stiff brush, dish soap, and warm water to remove any remaining grease. Focus on the griddle plate and the area below the grill. [9] X Research Source
- Any leftover food can attract bears, especially the fat dripping from the bottom of the blister. If possible, store the grill in a locked place so the bears can’t reach it. [10] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ea/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-7-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-7-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ea/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-7-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-7-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Avoid leaving food outside near the house. If you’re having an outdoor party, bring all the food inside after the party is over. Do not leave litter or leftovers for birds to eat, as they may attract bears. [11] X Research Source
- Clean up around the dining area by wiping down tables and sweeping away any remaining crumbs.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b1/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-8-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-8-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b1/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-8-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-8-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Shield beehives and chicken coops with electric fences. Chicken and honey are bears’ favorite foods, so they will invite bears to this area. Make cages for these animals away from your home, as well as be protected by an electric fence. [12] X Research Source
- You can buy electric fence kits at home improvement and decoration stores. To set up an electric fence, place an electric pole in each corner and erect one every 12m. Add insulators and wires along each pole. Connect the power cord to the charger so that the current flows through the wire.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b4/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-9-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-9-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b4/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-9-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-9-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Install a bear-proof system in your home and yard to keep bears away. Electric fences and motion-activated lights are enough to scare away bears from your yard. You need to install extra bars or nets on the windows in your house, as bears can break the glass. [13] X Research Source
- The motion-activated sprinkler system, specialized for all types of animals, can also deter bears.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/21/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-10-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-10-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/21/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-10-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-10-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Close the areas below the basement and eaves when winter arrives. These areas are ideal hiding places for bears, so keep the doors closed, especially in winter. Buy wood panels large enough to cover these areas, and nail them in place. Also, block out all basements under the house by closing wooden panels across. [14] X Research Source
- Similarly, bolt and reinforce the door in the barn and add large latches to the windows. Bears occasionally break into summer homes to make burrows, especially when they’re sure humans have left the area. [15] X Trusted Source The Humane Society of the United States Go to source
Prevent the attention of bears when camping
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3b/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-11-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-11-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3b/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-11-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-11-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Choose a campsite away from an area that is likely to attract bears. Bears are often attracted to trout trails and streams. You will also find them near animal carcasses. Similarly, a fire pit in a sparsely populated area can also attract bears if previous campers leave food behind. Avoid all of these areas if you intend to set up camp. [16] X Research Source
- Choose a well-ventilated area to set up camp where you can spot bears and they can see you.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e1/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-12-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-12-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e1/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-12-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-12-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Set up a cooking area at least 91 meters from the tent. Cooking and sleeping spaces should be separated at least the size of an American football field. To quantify, count 120 feet from where you sleep. This will keep the bear as far away from the resting place as possible to keep you safe. [17] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5d/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-13-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-13-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5d/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-13-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-13-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Limit food odors by eating canned or dried foods. The scent of food is one of the main attractions for bears. If you cook fresh food, there is a high chance that you will attract a bear to you. Eat foods like beef jerky, dried fruit, canned soups, and canned chicken to fill you up rather than processed foods like hot dogs. [18] X Research Sources
- However, bears have a very keen sense of smell, so relying solely on these foods will not be a deterrent.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/54/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-14-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-14-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/54/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-14-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-14-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Store food in bear repellent containers. Choose specialized camping containers to store food. These containers are sturdy enough to deter bears, and you can find them at camping and sporting goods stores. The scent will also be masked to make it less attractive to bears. Also, use an airtight container to mask the aroma of the food. [19] X Research Source
- Do not store food in the tent, as this may attract bears to rummage through your furniture while you are sleeping. Storing food in campers, trailers, or cars will make it harder for bears to break in. [20] X Research Sources
- If you’re camping in the woods, keep all your food in a bear repellent container and hang it 3m off the ground. Rotate the container at least 1m away from other branches and trunks. [21] X Research Source
- Similarly, for the clothes you wear to cook, change them before going to bed. Place food-stained clothing in a bear repellent container.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/32/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-15-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-15-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/32/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-15-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-15-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Hide scented items that might attract bears. Food isn’t the only thing that attracts a bear. Almost any smelly object can entice a bear to rummage through everything, including perfume and soap. Place items such as soap, deodorant, insecticide, and toothpaste in the same place where you store your food. [22] X Research Source
- Better yet, try to keep scented items at home, and choose unscented if possible.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e4/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-16-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-16-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e4/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-16-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-16-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Clean up the cooking area after eating. Do not leave the food you are eating lying around, as that may attract local bears. Similarly, pick up food scraps that fall around your campsite and put them in the trash. [23] X Research Sources
- Clean the kitchen surface with soap, warm water, then rinse with clean water.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/75/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-17-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-17-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/75/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-17-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-17-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Take food waste out of the camp before going to bed. When camping in the campground with others, take your trash to the main campsite trash can before going to bed. By doing so, bears will be less likely to visit your camp. [24] X Research Sources
- Strain food out of dishwashing liquid before rinsing. Throw these pieces of food in the trash.
- When camping in the woods or in a sparsely populated area, hang the trash can on the tree with your food. Hang at least 3.0 m high, away from trunks and other branches.
- Never bury or burn food waste, as bears will find out. [25] X Research Sources
Avoid bears when climbing
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/61/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-18-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-18-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/61/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-18-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-18-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Buy a bear repellent bag to store snacks. Bears’ sense of smell is extremely sharp and they constantly feed during the summer and fall months. A bear repellent bag can help mask the smell of food to keep bears away.
- A bear repellent bag made of very sturdy pyethylene. Place the food in a separate aluminum liner and then put it in a bag that the bear can’t tear off. Place all food in an airtight, water-resistant plastic bag to minimize odors.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/1c/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-19-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-19-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/1c/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-19-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-19-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Talk, sing, and make noise while out hiking. The most dangerous bear is not realizing you are coming. If you make noise to announce your presence, they are likely to get out of your way and leave you alone. [26] X Research Source
- If you don’t want to talk, bring a satellite radio and open a talk show.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/af/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-20-Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-20-Version-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/af/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-20-Version-5.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-20-Version-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Climb the mountain with many people to stop the bear. Bears are more likely to approach an individual than a group. Multiple groups of people will tend to make more noise than one person, so the bear will get away before you encounter it. [27] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f3/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-21-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-21-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f3/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-21-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-21-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Turn the other way if you see a bear in the distance. When you see a bear, step back slowly, and keep an eye on it. Go the other way, or simply go back to the original path. If you don’t touch the bear, it will probably leave you alone. [28] X Research Sources
- However, entering an area where there are bears is no longer safe. If you spot a bear, get out of that area.
Prevent bear attack
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/12/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-22-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-22-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/12/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-22-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-22-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Stand still if the bear attacks you. Bears run much faster than humans and if you run will stimulate bears to chase. Instead, wave your hand and make a lot of noise. Usually, bears will decide to turn away rather than attack. [29] X Research Sources
- However, do not look the bear in the eye, as it may perceive it as a threat. [30] X Research Source
- Don’t try to climb the tree. To be effective, the tree will have to be right next to you and you need to quickly climb at least 9m high to get rid of the bear. The black bear will climb right after you. Grizzly bears rarely follow you, but they can still try to climb trees. [31] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4c/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-23-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-23-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4c/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-23-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-23-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use bear spray if the bear comes straight at you. Bear spray is a type of pepper spray that sprays farther than average. Normally, it can spray up to 9 m. If a bear is approaching, spray a blast of tear gas between you and the bear. [32] X Trusted Source US National Park Service Go to Source
- To use the spray, remove the safety pin and press down on the spray nozzle. Spray when the bear is about 9 to 18 meters away. You can even spray directly on the bear’s face if the bear gets close.
- Spraying takes practice, so try doing it with a bottle that doesn’t contain any active ingredients. Practice in a place upwind, as well as with the wind behind you.
- Keep bear spray within arm’s reach, such as in a holster. You won’t be able to get it out of your backpack in time.
- Do not spray on people or communication devices. As long as you don’t spray on your face, it shouldn’t be dangerous. However, the tear gas quickly wears off, so it’s not an effective deterrent.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5b/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-24-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-24-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5b/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-24-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-24-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Fake death if the bear attacks you. In the rare event of a bear attack, curl up in a fetal position and lie motionless. This position will shield the internal organs, and the bear will likely give up once it realizes you are not a threat. [33] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/72/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-25-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away- Step-25-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/72/Keep-Bears-Away-Step-25-Version-3.jpg/ v4-728px-Keep-Bears-Away-Step-25-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Fight back if the bear continues to attack you. If faking death doesn’t make the bear leave after a few minutes, it’s time to start fighting back. Punch, throw stones, use sticks and hit back with anything you can handle. Be aggressive enough to scare the bear away. [34] X Research Sources
Warning
- Do not use balloons inflated with ammonia gas to scare bears. Bears can be blinded by ammonia, so it is extremely inhumane to place balloons filled with ammonia near their food source.
- Do not mix ammonia and bleach. This will produce toxic fumes. You should only use one of the two types, not a combination of both when you want to clean the trash.
