COYOTES

Coyote in the Wild

Coyotes can be found in most parts of the city and surrounding areas where there is forest, foliage, creeks, ravines and obvious wildlife habitat areas. You will find them close to cities and urban areas because of the ease in which they can find shelter and food. Coyotes are active both during the day, and at night when they are very difficult to see and are most active at dawn and later on at dusk.
Coyotes do not hibernate and remain active in the winter months where they are easier to spot as they search for food. ​The positive thing about Coyotes is there value in controlling squirrel and rabbit populations. Small rodents make up a large part of their diet, especially when garbage is hard to find.

What should I do if I come across a coyote on or near my property?

You should never feed coyotes, it’s actually against the law in this area. If you see anyone feeding them give 311 a call and report them. When you do see one or more of them you should strongly suggest the critters move on by being very animate and aggressively gesturing to them. They are actually very timid with humans, especially if you are firm and confident.
The fact that they have come near your property suggests you may have a food source nearby that should be checked out, perhaps even next door. Problems can arise when one is feeding their pet outside. Remember to check the recycle bin and garbage cans to make sure they are sealed and not attracting the canines. Another suggestion to keep coyotes from camping out nearby is to make sure foliage is thinned out leaving no place to hide for them.
If ever you are confronting a coyote, look as big as you can. throw something at him but big enough to injure him, your actions will send the coyote on his way. Don’t turn your back, always keep eye contact and back away with caution.

FOXES

​Foxes, much like coyotes, are most active during dawn and at dusk. Foxes that forage around the city areas have been successfully vaccinated eradicating rabies. Therefore the population of foxes is allowed to live and is encouraged to stay in he habitat. Thinning poses the possible threat of introducing new foxes from out of the area and possibly the reintroduction the rabies virus.
While the fox prefers life around ravines, streams, lakeshores and woody areas, they will sometimes make their den under porches and other urban protected spots. Naturally you would call a wildlife expert to humanely relocate them to their habitat and make your property safe from any confrontation with the fox family.

When foxes are nearby

If you suspect foxes nearby, make plans and protect your property. Galvanized wire mesh, inserted down into the ground 15″ so that tunneling is discouraged is a good idea. That’s how they get into the henhouse when you’re watching cartoons; In reality as well. Keep food scraps and pet food out of the yard and safely in containers. If you are uncertain about whether you have foxes nearby, keep your pets out of the yard for a little, be active yourself as this will discourage the shy animals from hanging around.

RACCOONS

Raccoons are one of those animals that have been over-run by urban development and are as much a part of the population as city folk. They are everywhere. You will not usually see them as they tend to do their chores and damage at night. Their diet consists of grubs, nuts, corn, smaller rodents, some fruits and of course, they have a field day when they come across garbage and compost. These creatures have no problem in setting up house in your house. Rafters, eaves, sheds and garages.

Ahmed was most pleasant. A bit late but got to business right away. I'm waiting to see if I have the pleasure of no more mice. Traps were refilled just yesterday so the one I saw this morning hopefully has its days numbered. Sad yes but stay out of my house. They refilled the empty bait boxes rather than doing it all over again which saved $.
