Stay Calm and Keep Your Distance If you spot a coyote in your yard, remain calm and avoid approaching or startling it, maintaining a safe distance.
Observe the Coyote's Behavior Take note of the coyote’s behavior—whether it's acting aggressive, curious, or simply passing through.
Do Not Approach the Animal Never try to get closer to the coyote, as it may feel threatened and act defensively if it perceives danger.
Make Your Presence Known Make noise by clapping, yelling, or using a whistle to alert the coyote to your presence, encouraging it to leave.
Secure Pets and Livestock Immediately bring pets indoors or secure them in an enclosed area to prevent any potential attacks or confrontations.
Animal Feces or Urine Opossums may be attracted to the scent of other animals’ feces or urine, as it signals territory or food sources nearby.
Decaying Organic Matter Decomposing plant material, such as fallen leaves or mulch, attracts insects and creates a food-rich environment for moles.–
Lack of Natural Predators If your yard lacks natural mole predators, such as foxes or hawks, moles will feel safer to invade and dig tunnels.
