Coyote management and deterrence in residential areas
Overview
Efforts to manage coyote presence in residential areas focus on multifaceted deterrence and hygiene. Initial strategies emphasize physical barriers, such as six-foot-high fencing with buried bottoms, and the removal of attractants like unsecured garbage, fallen fruit, and outdoor pet food.
As coyotes become more common in urban and suburban environments, management has expanded to include hygiene precautions, such as using gloves and disinfectants when handling coyote scat to prevent disease transmission. While some methods like using urine as a repellent were previously considered unreliable, it is noted that coyote urine can serve as a natural deterrent for other animals like rabbits and deer by mimicking a predator's scent. Additional deterrents include reducing dense vegetation and standing water to make properties less appealing for shelter.
