In Alpharetta specifically, bears who visit are usually ones that have recently become old enough to find a territory of their own, and the creeks, streams, and web of wooded areas in the area are inviting habitats to them.
The city listed the following safety tips:
• Never feed bears
• Remove bird feeders from around your home for a few weeks
• Do not leave pet food outside
• Clean your grill after each use
• Secure your garbage and recycling containers
