Bearacades! – Our business is protecting both your property and bears with expert, proven solutions.

We love bears. OUR GOAL is to provide solutions to homeowners with bear problems. While protecting your property, we save the lives of bears who would otherwise become nuisance bears. By not rewarding their bad behavior, they will soon become discouraged and move on.

Damage from a bear trying to enter a house.

We offer a range of solutions to deter bears from properties, including electric fencing and other products, based on the needs of each site. Education and information are a big part of what we do. Having the property owner understand what the bear is attempting to do, based on what the owner is doing, and then changing that scenario is crucial to the solution.

Our family decided to start Bearacades because we are tired of the number of bear/human interactions that increasingly result in nuisance bears becoming dead bears.

We offer a range of products depending on each situation. Together, we decide with you, the homeowner, the best strategy and products for your family’s protection.

“Bears are magnificent animals who deserve to be wild. They only come too close when we reward them with food, and then they lose their fear of man.”

Bear Wisdom

“Always respect Mother Nature. Especially when she weighs 300 pounds and is guarding her baby.”
― James Rollins, Ice Hunt
“Bears find themselves at the spot where two deep-seated but contradictory human impulses collide: the desire to feel protected from unforeseeable danger and the longing for unspoiled nature.”
― Bernd Brunner, Bears: A Brief History
“Bears, it turns out, are a lot like humans. They form alliances with strangers, they make calculations about relative costs and benefits, they lay down rules and punish those who break them. They trade based on a clear system of reciprocity. They communicate using equal parts emotion, intention, and dependence on context-a combination that is essential for communication between strangers and in fact forms the basis for language.”
― Benjamin Kilham, In the Company of Bears: What Black Bears Have Taught Me about Intelligence and Intuition
“The best way of being kind to bears is not to be very close to them.”
― Margaret Atwood, MaddAddam
“When you are where wild bears live
you learn to pay attention to the rhythm of the land and yourself. Bears not only make the habitat rich, they enrich us just by being.”
― Linda Jo Hunter, Lonesome for Bears: A Woman’s Journey in the Tracks of the Wilderness
“All of the authoritative books on bears seem to agree on one thing: if you’re close enough to a bear to cause it to change its activity pattern, you’re too close, and in possible danger.”
― Dennis R. Blanchard, Three Hundred Zeroes: Lessons of the Heart on the Appalachian Trail
