Pulled this little guy from a chimney today. Our customer hears its momma calling for it every night. We put it close to where we heard the mother’s cries. Hopefully there will be a beautiful reunion tonight.

Cobb County, among other counties around Atlanta, has had several bear reports in residential areas lately, including a bear cub who made a cameo on a resident's ring doorbell! While a little bear cub might look cute and innocent, there's usually a mama not far behind, keeping a watchful, protective eye on the youngster. Please exercise caution and be mindful of your surroundings, even in your yard.

According to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, here are six outdoor bear-wise tips:

1) Stay Alert and Stay Together: Pay attention to your surroundings and stay together. Walk, hike, jog, or cycle with others when possible. Keep kids within sight and close by. Leave earbuds at home and make noise periodically so bears can avoid you.

2) Leave No Trash or Food Scraps: Double bag your food when hiking and pack out all food and trash. Don’t burn food scraps or trash in your fire ring or grill. Leaving scraps, wrappers, or even “harmless” items like apple cores teaches bears to associate trails and campsites with food.

3) Keep Dogs Leashed: Letting dogs chase or bark at bears is asking for trouble; don’t force a bear to defend itself. Keep your dogs leashed at all times or leave them at home.

4) Camp Safely: Set up camp away from dense cover and natural food sources. Cook as far from your tent as possible. Do not store food, trash, clothes worn when cooking, or toiletries in your tent. Store in approved bear-resistant containers or out of sight in a locked vehicle OR suspended at least 10 feet above the ground and 10 feet from any part of the tree. Local regulations vary.

5) Know What to Do if You See a Black Bear: If you see a bear before it notices you, don’t approach. Stand still, enjoy, then quietly move away. If a bear sees you, back away slowly. Never run; running may trigger a chase response. If a bear approaches hold your ground, wave your arms, and yell “Hey Bear” until it leaves. Stay with your group. If it keeps approaching, use bear spray. If a black bear makes contact with you, do NOT play dead; fight back aggressively.

6) Carry Bear Spray and Know How to Use It: Bear spray is proven to be the easiest and most effective way to deter a bear that threatens you. It doesn’t work like bug repellent, so never spray your tent, campsite, or belongings.

Did you know that silverfish are one of the most ancient insects on the planet? They love dark, humid spaces like bathrooms, attics, and basements. They're quick, but since they're chewing insects, they leave evidence that they've been there, often on the cardboard boxes or documents you have stored away.
