If a coyote has not ….

If a coyote has not been hazed before, they may not immediately run away when a person yells at them. If this happens, people may need to walk towards the coyote and increase the intensity of the hazing.

The coyote may run away, but then stop after a distance and look at the person. It is important to continue to go after the coyote until they completely leave the area.

People should keep pets inside, stay alert when walking dogs and make sure they are on leashes no longer than 6 feet. People can reduce coyote populations by picking up food and draining water that might attract wild animals. Residents can report coyote sightings to GRF Security by calling 562594-4754.
