Avoiding coyotes
Do not feed coyotes.
Do not feed pets outdoors.
Do not allow pets to run free.
Eliminate the availability of bird seed. Coyotes are attracted to
the birds
and rodents that eat the seed. If you feed birds, clean up the waste
or spills.
Make garbage inaccessible to coyotes and other animals.
Fencing may deter coyotes. Make fences tight to the ground,
preferably extending 6 inches below ground level.
Remove brush and tall grass on your property to reduce
the protective cover for coyotes.
If you see a coyote, be aggressive. Make loud noises, wave your
arms
and throw sticks and stones.
Teach children to keep away from coyotes.
Ask neighbors to follow these tips.
