It’s that time of year again – when the days grow longer, the sun shines brighter, and… black bears emerge from their winter slumber! While these fascinating creatures are a vital part of our ecosystem, encountering one in your backyard can be a real buzzkill (pun intended).
Here at Go Safer Security, we prioritize keeping you and your loved ones safe, both inside and outside the home. With black bear sightings on the rise across Maryland, particularly in residential areas, it’s the perfect time to re-evaluate your home security system.
Why Black Bear Season Demands Beefed-Up Security
Data shows black bear populations are booming, especially in western Maryland counties like Garrett, Allegany, Washington, and Frederick. But sightings are becoming increasingly common elsewhere too, with recent reports in Howard County, Catonsville, Silver Spring, and Kensington.
Black bears are naturally curious and attracted to easy food sources. Unfortunately, that can include unsecured trash cans, pet food left outdoors, or even bird feeders. Here’s why a robust home security system is crucial during black bear season:
- Deterrence: Motion sensors, bright floodlights, and strategically placed security cameras can deter bears from approaching your property in the first place.
- Early Detection: A monitored security system with 24/7 live support allows for immediate response if a bear does wander onto your property. This can help prevent potential conflict and ensure the safety of both you and the bear.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing your home is well-protected allows you to relax and enjoy the outdoors with confidence, even during peak black bear season.
