Frequently Asked Questions About Animal-Proof Trash Cans (FAQ)

Everything you need to know about the most commonly asked questions by homeowners, cabin owners, HOAs, and park visitors on how to keep bears, raccoons, coyotes, foxes and other wildlife out of their garbage. Every answer includes expert advice and the Bearicuda products that are best suited to solve the problem.

Why do bears go in trash cans?

Bears have an amazing sense of smell, up to seven times better than a bloodhound. Bears are attracted from great distances by trash cans containing food waste, residue from packaging, or even scented household items. When a bear realizes a trash can is an easy source of calories, it will go back to it over and over.

Top Bearicuda Solutions:

  1. Bearicuda Stealth – Airtight design and locking system seals in odors and seals out bears.
  2. Bearicuda Titan — Heavy-duty metal-reinforced lid and lock for high-activity bear areas.

Why do raccoons love trash cans?

Raccoons are clever, dexterous and opportunistic. They can open simple lids, flip unsecured cans and squeeze thru small gaps. They like strong food smells and open bags.

Top Bearicuda Solutions:

  1. Bearicuda Stealth — Airtight seal eliminates odor trails that raccoons follow.
  2. Varmint Vault - Animal and rodent-resistant can is not meant for Bears. Great for raccoons, squirrels, and other pesky animals that tip and pull apart your cans
  3. Bearicuda Fortess -  50-gallon animal-resistant trash can with screwtop lid is ideal for animals that chew, such as squirrels and raccoons.

What other common animals raid trash containers?

  • Coyotes – Knock over cans and tear bags.
  • Foxes – will take small scraps and can get thru loose lids.
  • Skunks & Opossums – Attracted by food waste and unsecured bins.
  • Birds & Rodents — Peck or chew thru bags.

Best Bearicuda Solutions:

  1. Stealth & Titan Trash Cans - Airtight + locking mechanisms.

What is a “bear-resistant” trash can?

A bear-resistant container must be able to resist prying, biting, clawing, rolling and repeated impact. It also needs to keep scents from escaping.

Key features are:

  • Reinforced structure (metal or composite)
  • Trusted locking systems
  • Air tight seals
  • Design tested by IGBC

Best Solutions for Bearicuda:

  1. Bearicuda Titan – Designed for some serious bear pressure.
  2. Bearicuda Stealth – Airtight + Lock Residential System.

What is IGBC Certification? Why is it important?

The Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee (IGBC) tests containers to make sure they can hold up to actual bear efforts. IGBC-approved products are required for many parks, forests and bear-heavy areas.
