Coyotes
Coyotes can pose several hazards to property and neighborhoods: they may kill or injure pets, especially small dogs and cats left unattended; dig or damage lawns, gardens, and compost piles while hunting rodents or seeking food; and create noise and stress with howling or yipping that disturbs residents. Coyotes are attracted to easily accessible food sources—pet food left outdoors, unsecured garbage, birdseed, or fallen fruit. They can become bolder and more likely to approach yards, which can increase the risk of confrontations. In rare cases, habituated coyotes can exhibit aggressive behavior toward people, particularly children, and can carry diseases or parasites transferable to pets and humans. Reducing attractants, securing garbage and pet food, supervising pets, and using exclusion measures for small areas can lower hazards and help keep both property and neighborhood residents safer.
Our Approach
We provide comprehensive coyote protection services tailored to residential and commercial properties across North Carolina, combining professional assessment, exclusion techniques, and ongoing monitoring to minimize risk. Our team inspects your property to identify attractants (pet food, unsecured garbage, fallen fruit), entry points, and landscape features that encourage coyote activity, then implements humane exclusion measures such as reinforced fencing, gap sealing, and habitat modification. We also offer education on safe practices for pet owners and yards, targeted hazing guidance to discourage bold coyotes, and follow-up visits to ensure long-term effectiveness. By addressing both immediate hazards and underlying conditions that draw coyotes in, we help reduce encounters and improve safety for people, pets, and livestock.
