Bear Straps retrofit most residential trash cans, making them much more difficult for bears to open. By denying easy access to human food, they help discourage bears from becoming habituated and encourage them to move on in search of natural food sources instead.
Bear Straps are also effective at deterring other common scavengers, including raccoons, opossums, coyotes, foxes, magpies, ravens, and crows.
