There has been a bear coming around my property. I am concerned that he will break into my fur shed because that is where I keep my commercial baits and lures. Is there a way to neutralize the odors such as for example Moth Balls?

No, you will have to neutralize the bear unless he moves on.
Mothballs may actually attract bears,mothballs are a petroleum product(naphthalene)and bears just love gasoline etc.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Put a shallow tray like a baking sheet just inside the door and pour some regular scent Pine Sol in the tray. When the bear takes a sniff at the bottom of the door he'll get a snoot full of Pine Sol, he'll loose interest really fast.
Works great on brown bears, bet it will work on blacks too.
