Coyote Trapping & Removal

Coyotes, a common wildlife presence in many neighborhoods, raise questions about their potential danger. At Desert Squad Pest & Wildlife, we’re here to shed light on this important topic.

Understanding Coyote Behavior: Coyotes are typically wary of humans and often avoid direct contact. However, certain factors can influence their behavior, potentially leading to perceived dangers in neighborhoods.

Potential Risks: While coyotes are not usually a direct threat to humans, there are considerations to keep in mind:

1. Pet Safety: Coyotes may see small pets as potential prey. It’s crucial to keep pets supervised, especially during early morning and evening hours when coyotes are most active.

2. Food Attraction: Unsecured garbage, fallen fruits, and pet food can attract coyotes, potentially leading to property damage and habituation.

3. Disease Transmission: While rare, coyotes can carry diseases like rabies. Avoid direct contact with them and be cautious if you spot a sick or behaving-abnormally coyote.

Mitigating Risks: To minimize potential dangers:

• Secure trash bins to discourage scavenging.
• Supervise pets outdoors and consider leash walks.
• Remove food sources from yards.
• Educate neighbors about coyote coexistence.
• If you encounter a coyote, use hazing techniques to deter them.

Encountering a coyote in your yard can be a surprising experience. At Desert Squad Pest & Wildlife, we’re here to guide you on the best steps to take when faced with this situation.

Stay Calm and Observant: If you spot a coyote in your yard, it’s important to remain calm. Coyotes are generally wary of humans and often avoid direct contact. Maintain a safe distance and observe the coyote’s behavior from a window or door.

Do Not Approach: Avoid approaching the coyote, especially if it has noticed your presence. Coyotes may feel threatened if cornered, which could lead to defensive behavior.

Secure Pets: If you have pets, bring them indoors or keep them on a leash. Small pets are particularly vulnerable, and it’s essential to ensure their safety.

Use Hazing Techniques: Hazing involves using loud noises, yelling, clapping, or waving your arms to make yourself seem larger and more intimidating to the coyote. Hazing can help deter the coyote from your property.

Remove Attractants: Coyotes are drawn to easily accessible food sources. Ensure that garbage bins are securely closed, and avoid leaving pet food or fallen fruits in your yard.

Consult Professionals: If you’re concerned about repeated coyote visits or the presence of pups, it’s advisable to consult professionals like Desert Squad Pest & Wildlife. Our experienced team can provide insights, assess the situation, and offer effective coexistence strategies.
