RE: Getting Rid of Coyotes
I have lost not one, but TWO poodles to coyotes and am afraid for the dog I have now. The other night I read about wolf urine (pellets or liquid...ew). Anyone heard of this? Blacky is the other one.

RE: Getting Rid of Coyotes
I live right in town and the coyotes come to my house and the houses on my street and eat our garbage on garbage night. We just moved here and one of the ladies down the street said that one came right in her house one night. What do I do?

Coyotes are scared of mountain lions, If you can put a speaker outside and there are tons of mountain lion calls online. When you hear the coyotes, then play the sound track, they will avoid your house. It does work. No animals harmed during the making of this post.

You might get a .22 and shoot at them, making sure not to hit them. After a few times, they'll stay away.

All of the sheep farmers in my area use a donkey as they are not scared of them and run them off.

RE: Getting Rid of Coyotes
@Lynda: We are not here to "subdue" the earth. We are here to live in harmony with it. If there's one thing that floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, etc., should teach us, it's that humans can't subdue the earth.
@Glinda: Coyotes aren't the only threat to small animals. Large birds of prey could also kill small dogs...how can you "repel" them? You might as well ask us how to change the weather to suit you. :-)
The coyotes were there before you were, which is something that should have been considered before purchasing the home and land. I lived in the desert for a couple of decades, where it wasn't just coyotes, but javelinas and all sorts of other wildlife we had to contend with. In other words, you can't change the coyotes; you have to change your lifestyle to deal with them.
If you offer wild animals "snacks" like small dogs, that will attract them. (Not to demean the tragic loss of a pet...I just mean, that's how any wild animal will view a doggy or a kitty. They have no way of understanding how these little creatures are precious to us.) Never let pets run around where they can become prey. Same goes for small children.
I would suggest that you call your local animal control department, and ask them what they can do. Sometimes they can trap animals and relocate them far away from where you are, so they can establish a new territory for themselves. In any case, these folks will know a lot more than we do, and they'll be able to assist you in reducing your problems with coyotes.
But the bottom line is, anybody who lives in the country, on a ranch, in a desert, etc., is going to have to contend with wildlife. Heck, even when I lived in a Phoenix suburb, it was common for coyotes and other critters to be spotted. You can't encroach into coyote territory, then expect them to stop howling and stay away. Nature doesn't work like that. :-)
@Glenn'sMom: Yes, they would come that close to a house. Please, for heaven's sake, bring Skip inside the house, esp. since she has so many handicaps! The poor little thing is even more defenseless than most small animals. Bring her inside at night, and give her a nice doggy bed, so she'll be safe and sound. :-)

RE: Getting Rid of Coyotes
There are some neighbors that have a llama in with their sheep and this is to keep coyotes from getting them. We have a gentleman that comes in during the cooler weather and traps coyotes for us. He's caught one that weighed 45 lbs.!! and was coal black. This is a very rare size/color. The coyotes have kept our boys from having 'backyard campouts'. Good luck.

RE: Getting Rid of Coyotes
Back in the days of the dinosaurs, my grandfather and father used to shoot just one and hang it on the fence the coyotes were coming over, carefully repairing any loose bottom wires or slats for lower openings, quickly filling any holes they've dug because they do dig! The hanging animal skin needs to be head to the sky and allowed to bake in the sun, rot and dry out. Left there as long as possible. Until there is no resemblance to a coyote.
So that the live ones get the point that they might get killed if they come around there. It seemed to work for him and his family. God bless, watch over and help you. Remember that we are to subdue the earth, not tolerate being harmed by predator animals. : )

RE: Getting Rid of Coyotes
I would suggest talking to someone you know who hunts. They always know someone who hunt coyote. The do kill a lot of wildlife and animals including pheasant. My husband is always wanting to kill them where we hunt. Good luck!

RE: Getting Rid of Coyotes
To Glenn's Mom. Yes coyotes will go over a fence close to a house. My sister has them in her flower bed around the house in the daytime. The men who have goats and cows say the coyotes will go over a 6 foot fence. They have watch them do it. They go across our pasture in the daytime. I have seen them as close as 200 ft. from our house in the day. I had a mama cow and her calf in a lot by the house, I watched a coyote go under the gate walk around and leave. If the cow had not been with the calf I sure the coyote would have tried to kill it. Some people shoot them and some use traps. All I could think was I wish my husband was home so he could shoot it.

RE: Getting Rid of Coyotes
Yes they would,they are very smart and always hungry.You could check with the DNR or game Warden and see if there is any one that hunts them.

RE: Getting Rid of Coyotes
Contact your states DNR department. Let them know that they have already killed one of your pets, and you are worried they may do more damage. You can google search "your state" DNR for the website.

RE: How to Get Rid of or Scare off Coyotes
That's really scary! I don't have any ideas but wanted to know if they were getting your animals in the day time or night. We hear them at our house a lot at night but I've never heard or seen them during the day. My little skip stays out in our fenced back yard at night and she's almost totally blind and deaf but they wouldn't come over a fence this close to the house...would they?
