Avoid feeding wild animals, securely store your garbage, and feed pets indoors to avoid attracting unwanted visitors. Fence in your garden, and plant unpalatable vegetation to discourage browsing. Be prepared – Before camping, hiking, or venturing into natural areas, learn about the animals that you might encounter.
