Bear Countermeasures: In response to the increasing bear damage nationwide, Bojo Research Institute Co., Ltd. holds a bear countermeasures study session at SHIMADA Co., Ltd.

Bojo Research Institute Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ogaki City, Gifu Prefecture) recently held a study session and product explanation meeting on bear countermeasures at SHIMADA Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Higashiomi City, Shiga Prefecture), a manufacturer of pest control products.

Bear countermeasures are also required for companies.

In recent years, the number of bear sightings and human injuries has been increasing nationwide, and local governments and companies are increasingly aware of the importance of bear countermeasures for ensuring the safety of employees and facility management.

In response to this social background, Bojo Research Institute Co., Ltd. is actively engaged not only in the development and sales of bear countermeasure products but also in spreading correct knowledge and safety measures through study sessions and training sessions for companies and local governments.

Pest control manufacturers collaborate to share knowledge and technology on bear countermeasures

SHIMADA Co., Ltd., which held this study session, is a manufacturer that engages in the planning, development, manufacturing, and sales of products such as adhesive products processing, pest control products, anti-theft and agricultural adhesive sheets, photo-induced insect traps, and daily necessities, with the philosophy of "making people's lives more comfortable."

Since its founding in 1984, the company has continued to produce products that support sanitary and living environments, providing products with a consistent system from research and development to manufacturing and quality control.

Both companies, as companies involved in pest control, deepened their understanding of bear damage, which has become a social issue in recent years, and held this study session to provide customers with more appropriate information.

In addition to product introductions, explanations were also given on knowledge useful in actual situations, such as "prevention to avoid encountering bears," "initial response when encountered," and "appropriate timing for using bear repellent spray."

Many questions were raised from the participants, and active exchange of opinions took place, making it a meaningful opportunity to deepen understanding of bear countermeasures.

Sold 1,500 units in 2 days 'KUMA-911'

Bojo Research Institute Co., Ltd. released the professional bear repellent spray 'KUMA-911' in June 2026.

After the release, there was a big response from all over the country, and 1,500 units were sold in just two days from the start of sales, indicating high interest in bear countermeasures, especially among local governments and companies.

In addition to inquiries about the product, many consultations were also received, such as "in what situations should it be used?" and "how should I respond if I encounter a bear?" We have once again realized the importance of not only providing products but also conveying correct knowledge.

SHIMADA Co., Ltd. In charge comment

"The study session was very meaningful for the participating employees regarding information on bears and the latest technology (system) for bear removal, and bear repellent spray. It was a valuable opportunity to deepen knowledge on bear countermeasures, and the content was very substantial. Thank you very much."

Bojo Research Institute Co., Ltd. Comment

In recent years, human injuries caused by bears have become a national social issue.

Bear countermeasures are not sufficient just by owning the product. It is important to understand the habits of bears, take appropriate preventive measures, and acquire correct knowledge so that you can respond calmly if you encounter one by chance.

Bojo Research Institute Co., Ltd. is engaged not only in product development but also in the dissemination of safety measures, utilizing the insights cultivated through more than 3,000 pest control cases annually.

In the future, we will actively hold study sessions and product explanation meetings for companies and local governments, and widely disseminate correct knowledge about bear countermeasures, proper usage methods of products, and response methods when encountered.

Furthermore, by strengthening cooperation with local governments and companies and promoting safety measure awareness activities, we will contribute to the reduction of bear damage and the safety and security of local communities.
