Coyotes are opportunistic hunters. If you’ve got pets, especially cats or small-to-medium dogs, they’re at risk. I’ve had calls from families who lost chickens, rabbits, even young goats to coyote attacks. For pet owners, the danger is very real.
Coyotes dig. A lot. They’ll dig up gardens, tear through flowerbeds, and even burrow near your home’s foundation if they’re looking for a den. That can lead to:
Destroyed lawns and landscaping – piles of dirt, holes, and trampled plants.
Structural issues – digging too close to a foundation or patio can cause serious long-term damage.
Coyotes don’t just bring noise — they can carry diseases and parasites that spread to pets and people.
Rabies – While not common, it’s deadly if transmitted through a bite or scratch.
Fleas and ticks – Easy for coyotes to carry, and they don’t stay outside. Pets can pick them up and bring them indoors.
Worms and parasites – Another problem you don’t want in your yard or around your animals.
If you’ve ever heard coyotes howling at night, you know how unnerving it can be. That yipping and howling can go on for hours. It disrupts sleep and, for families with kids or pets, it adds a layer of stress and fear every time they step outside.
Coyotes are scavengers. If food is easy to get, they’ll take it.
Garbage – They’ll knock over bins, rip open bags, and leave trash scattered everywhere.
Pet food – Left outside, it’s like ringing the dinner bell.
Compost and bird feeders – Anything that smells like food is fair game.
Coyotes will forage through gardens and hunt small animals around your yard. Plants get trampled, soil gets dug up, and the balance of your backyard ecosystem shifts. Squirrels, rabbits, and birds often disappear once coyotes move in.
At All City Animal Trapping, our approach is humane, effective, and thorough. Here’s how we tackle it:
We start by looking at where coyotes are getting in, what they’re after, and how active they are on your property. Food sources, attractants, and entry points all matter.
We use traps and deterrents designed to minimize stress and safely capture the coyotes. No shortcuts, no risky methods.
Once captured, coyotes are handled carefully and removed by our trained team.
Seal up entry points.
Restore landscaping torn up by digging.
Repair fences, foundations, or other areas damaged by coyote activity.
Droppings and odor don’t just go away on their own. We sanitize and deodorize affected areas so your home and yard are safe again.
