Living with Coyotes

Coyotes have always been a presence in our neighborhood, but recently we have had more sightings and interactions with them.  To learn more about what to do when you see a coyote, please download this brochure from LA Animal Services.  You can also visit their website to learn more about living with Wildlife (and coyotes) in an urban environment.  As their website notes:

The City of Los Angeles does not trap coyotes unless they are injured. It’s illegal to trap and relocate wildlife (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, § 465.5) and the Department will not kill or hunt coyotes. CA Fish & Wildlife has jurisdiction over wildlife.

If there is a particularly aggressive coyote in your area, CA Fish & Wildlife has the equipment to safely remove that animal. Please report a wildlife incident with CA Fish & Wildlife directly: https://apps.wildlife.ca.gov/wir

Based on the research cited in this article coyotes are coming into our area looking for food.  Experts recommend eliminating fruit from ornamental trees that hit the ground, securing garbage so it is not lying on the ground, not leaving pet food outside, and cutting back on vegetation where coyotes can hide.
