PLACER COUNTY (CBS13) – A mother bear and her cub made themselves at home in one Lake Tahoe area rental and left behind a mess.

The bears were shooed out of the home, but the damage had been done.

Deputies warn bears are on the prowl for food right now, preparing for hibernation.

It's another reminder to secure doors, windows and remove any scented items from your car if you live there, or plan to visit the area soon.
