Coyotes
Coyote are easily frightened through harassment methods but will quickly become emboldened and a nuisance if left alone.Residents should clap hands, bang pots, use whatever is available to make noise and frighten them off whenever seen.It is important to remember that coyote have a fairly large home range.A single family unit can be seen and thereby cause problems in several municipalities. Removal of food sources and destruction of denning opportunities are necessary steps in reducing coyote/human interactions and problems.Their main natural diet consists of rodents, rabbits, and other small mammals.As they are opportunistic feeders, they will eat human garbage, carrion, cat/dog food left outside, and even feral cats or small dogs if available.As coyote are ubiquitous throughout all 21 NJ Counties, elimination or relocation is not conceivable.
Therefore, the ultimate solution requires your community’s involvement.
