| COYOTE |
|
- Make your trash can inaccessible. Keep lids securely fastened and in your garage until trash day. Ammonia or pepper in the trash may also discourage the scavenging coyote. - Do not keep pet food outdoors. Coyotes are scavengers ad on a slow day a dish of dog or cat food really hits the spot and keeps them coming back for more. - Coyotes rarely climb anything higher than a six foot fence. Augment your existing fence with outwardly inverted fencing, hot wire, or cement blocks and large rocks buried outside the fence line to prevent animals from digging into your yard. - Some deterrents that may keep coyotes from entering your property may include; battery operated flashing lights, tape-recorded humane noises, scattered moth balls and ammonia soaked rags strategically placed. |
