What everyday habits will help to avoid a visit from the baboons?

  • Store food in closed places where the baboons cannot see it.
  • Feed your pets inside, and don’t leave their bowls in outdoor areas. 
  • Don’t leave food like bird seed out.
  • If you have a garage, unpack your groceries inside and with the garage door closed. 
  • Put your rubbish out shortly before it’s collected, and always in a secured bin.
  • Always use your baboon-proofing mechanisms on windows and doors. 
  • Lock your vehicle if it’s parked outside. 

Using these tactics consistently will send a message to the baboons that they have no chance of gaining a reward from your property. They will learn not to waste their time and energy investigating or trying to access your home.
