Coyote Control

We’re Just One Phone Call Away!

Coyotes are carnivores, which means they eat meat and have been known to kill sheep, chickens, and other livestock. Many customers that have seen Coyotes on their property express a concern for their household pets and small children. Coyotes commonly stay away from humans but there is always concern with any wild animal, especially Coyotes, that makes their way onto your property.

In many situations, when the Coyotes food source is removed (bringing pets and their food inside) then the Coyote will move on. However, in some cases, the Coyote will stay in hopes that their food will return and can be difficult to remove.

We specialize in Coyote Removal, Coyote Trapping, and complete Coyote Control solutions.

COYOTE TRAPPING

The most common way to remove a Coyote from your property is through trapping. Trapping a Coyote can be a complicated task and should be handled by a professional wildlife removal company, such as Nuisance Wildlife Rangers. Our Wildlife Experts have special bait that entices the Coyote to enter the trap. Once the animal is caught, it is handled humanely.

How to Keep Coyotes Away

Coyotes are just a normal part of life in the United States, which is not to say they’re a pleasant part of it. Coyotes can pose a serious danger to your pets, as well as small children, which is why it’s wise to take precautions against them. Now, coyotes are wild creatures, usually attracted to human properties by food sources, be they living or not. So if you’ve noticed signs of a coyote problem in your area, we suggest taking action right now.

This is what this article by Nuisance Wildlife Rangers is about! In our years dealing with coyotes, as well as so many other wild predators, we’ve seen a lot. So that now, we can give you a fair idea of what’s efficient and what isn’t.

Obviously, the tips and methods below will give you an idea of what else you can try, aside from calling a qualified wildlife removal professional team like ours. Naturally, a wildlife removal professional will be able to handle your coyote problem swiftly, but here are some other things to try, if calling a pro isn’t an option.

• Invest in animal-proof trash containers.

Honestly, this is just a smart play from whichever angle you look at it, since opened (or easy to topple) trash cans are among the chief attraction points for wild animals. Raccoons, squirrels, rats, and indeed, coyotes, will be attracted to the smell of garbage since they are definitely not picky and apt to eat anything.

This is why we recommend that you invest in sealable, animal-proof containers to store your trash in. These will not be easy to open or topple over, and when the wild animal sees that it won’t get to your trash, it’s quite likely that it will leave you alone.

If purchasing animal-proof containers isn’t an option, we urge you to take your trash indoors at night, since that’s when coyotes (and most other types of wildlife) are most active. It’s much harder and dangerous to get to food that’s inside a home so that immediately decreases the risk of a coyote attack.

• Put up a fence.

This is another great prevention method that will serve you in deterring other wild animals from approaching, as well, not just coyotes. Honestly, every property owner should seriously consider putting up a fence for its added layer of protection, and peace of mind.

Now, bear in mind that coyotes are skilled jumpers and climbers, so an average fence isn’t likely to scare them off too well. Luckily, you can purchase specially designed coyote rollers to apply to the exterior of the fence. This will prevent the coyote’s hindlegs from catching on, and make it impossible to climb.

• Try a motion-activated deterrent.

… such as a sprinkler, which will spray them with water, if it detects movement. The truth is, coyotes aren’t comfortable with humans and they shouldn’t be. Spraying them with water will startle them, usually enough to keep them away from your property for good.

Alternatively, you can opt for a deterrent that causes noise, not water, as coyotes are also quite scared of loud noises.

• Get a guard dog.

While it’s not generally recommended to pit dogs against coyotes (for fear of an altercation), some traditional guard dog breeds like Mastiffs, Great Pyrenese, Komondors, or Shepherds can protect your property against predators. Because of their large size and watchful disposition, they are ideal for warding off unwanted wildlife, since the wild animal will usually realize that your dog isn’t messing about. Likewise, it won’t get confused for easy prey, thus successfully keeping your yard coyote-free.
