Wildlife in Culver City - Coyotes



Keeping coyotes out of your yard if you don't want them there and how to live with them peacefully

  • Coyote Rollers These are easy to install and will make your yard COYOTE PROOF!
  • Battery operated flashing lights, tape-recorded human noises, scattered moth balls and ammonia-soaked rags strategically placed may deter coyotes from entering your property.
  • Coyotes rarely climb anything higher than a six (6) foot fence. Augment your existing fencing with extenders angled outwardly, hot wire, or cement blocks and large rocks buried outside the fence line to prevent animals from digging into your yard.
  • Keep cats and small dogs indoors, allowing them outside only under strict supervision. In addition to coyotes, small pets often fall prey to free-roaming and feral dogs and great-horned owls.
  • Do not feed coyotes. Coyotes have a job to do, let them do it! By feeding them you create a dependency on humans. This is not healthy for the coyotes. Feeding wild animals is also illegal.
  • Make your trash cans inaccessible. Keep trash can lids securely fastened or keep trash cans in your garage until trash day. Ammonia or pepper in the trash can may also discourage the scavenging coyote,
  • COYOTES CONTROL RODENTS . They keep the balance of nature in order. An area with coyotes will not be overrun with mice, gophers, squirrels or rabbits. Natural rodent control is certainly preferable to our man-made poisons and inhumane traps. Most of the intelligent cattle ranchers in the West welcome coyotes on their lands as a way of controlling the burrowing rodents whose holes have injured many cows and horses during round-up time. Coyotes love insects and many a farm has been saved from massive large insect invasions (i.e. grasshoppers) by allowing the coyotes to roam the fields.

Contrary to belief, coyotes do not howl when they make a kill. They howl when they communicate to other coyotes.

There are more coyotes living in the U.S. now than there were when the Declaration of Independence was signed, in spite of two hundred years of trying our best to eradicate them. Better we should learn to live with them. They're not going away.
