Our Wildlife Specialists use non-lethal means to manage incursions, as much as possible, and know how to reduce wildlife incidents through client education.

Bear Hazard Assessment

Bear Scare conducts thorough Bear Hazard Assessments for industries working in the wild to reduce risk to staff and provide an element of due diligence. The assessment includes:

• A site inspection of the work area,
• Identify conditions which may attract bears such as garbage or food left in the open,
• Determining the level of hazard that exists in the area,
• Educating employees about bear safe practices,
• Bear proofing the site.

A report summarizing our findings will be provided at the conclusion of the assessment.

Wildlife Monitoring

Wildlife monitoring takes bear monitoring and expands the basic concepts to include other wild animals and large ungulates (moose, elk, caribou, etc.) As with bear monitoring, non-lethal methods are the first and preferred course of action, including aversion techniques, rubber bullets, noise deterrents and portable electric fencing. Lethal force is used only as a last resort when there is an imminent threat to human safety and no other options are available.

Students are also given practical experience on the firing range, using a life size bear target.

Beaver Control and Trapping

Bear Scare provides beaver control services including trapping and dam destruction to discourage new beaver tenants from taking up residence. Beavers may be cute and popular as one of our nation’s symbols but their drive to build lodges and dams often creates flooding problems which can damage forests, drainage infrastructure, food crops, human dwellings and even put other wildlife at risk. Bear Scare can humanely remove the serious threats caused by beaver activity.
