What To Do When You See A Coyote In Your Neighborhood?

If you believe a coyote poses a direct threat to human safety (bold aggression such as growling, stalking, chasing), you should report it to local authorities. Since cities react differently to coyotes, you may need to contact the animal welfare agency, police department, or your local DNR office. They can provide additional advice or respond if needed. Remember, there is no need to worry about a coyote right next to you. Harassing animals are animals that threaten or harm you, your pets, or your property. The presence of coyotes in your garden indicates a food source; As long as it's not artificial, these animals can improve the ecological health of your garden by controlling other populations such as rodents and geese. If you are not comfortable having coyotes, you may need to hire a private hunter to remove the animal. Note, however, that another person or herd will likely fill in the area after the target animal is removed.
