Raccoons, Rats, and Bears: Different Pests, Same Trash Problem
Posted by Securr Blogger on
No matter where your business or facility is located, one thing is certain—if your trash is unprotected, animals will find it. Raccoons, rats, and bears are different in size and behavior, but they share one goal: accessing your waste. At BearSaver, we engineer animal-proof commercial containers that stop each of these pests in their tracks.
Raccoons: Clever Climbers and Lock-Pickers
Raccoons are infamous for their dexterity. These nocturnal bandits can open lids, unlatch bins, and tip over unsecured containers. In suburban parks, campgrounds, and apartment complexes, raccoons pose a constant nuisance. BearSaver enclosures are designed with locking mechanisms raccoons can’t bypass, reinforced lids, and sturdy steel construction that resists tipping and tampering.
Rats: Persistent Chewers and Squeeze Artists
Rats don't need much to get in—a crack, a loose hinge, or a chewed corner will do. Once inside, they create health hazards and attract more pests. BearSaver’s steel enclosures eliminate weak points common in plastic bins. Tight seals and chew-resistant materials block rats before they get close, making our containers ideal for restaurants, industrial parks, and transit stations.
Bears: Powerful, Persistent, and Dangerous
When it comes to trash, bears mean business. Their strength can tear through conventional bins in seconds. BearSaver containers are certified bear-resistant, built from heavy-gauge steel with secure, wildlife-tested locking systems. Whether you're managing a national park, a rural resort, or a mountain town, BearSaver protects your waste—and your visitors.
One Solution for Every Animal Threat
While each animal poses a unique challenge, BearSaver offers a common solution. Our animal-proof commercial containers are engineered to resist break-ins from pests of all sizes. With options for single cans, multi-stream recycling, cart enclosures, and more, we help municipalities, parks, and commercial sites stay clean, compliant, and critter-free.
