Coyote Control, Trapping & Removal Services
We can rid you of Coyote problems safely and efficiently
Coyotes are part of the canine family and are found throughout North America. They are clever animals capable of surviving in a wide range of habitats, from desert scrub to mountainous environments and deciduous forests. Coyotes are primarily carnivorous but will take advantage of almost any edible food source. Thanks to urban sprawl, their native ranges have been overrun with human activity, which has led to unwanted interactions. More and more people consider coyotes a major nuisance.
APPEARANCE
Smaller than wolves, coyotes grow to about the same size as medium dog breeds like German shepherds. They have large, pointed ears, narrow muzzles tipped with dark noses, and keen hearing and senses of smell. Most coyotes have grizzled, coarse fur gray or tan in color. Their bushy tails are often tipped with black. Most active at night, coyote howls and high-pitched yelps can be heard when they gather in social groups to hunt or feed.
DIET
As carnivores, coyotes hunt down small animals like squirrels, rabbits, and mice. Packs of the animal can take down larger prey such as deer. Additionally, they are not above scavenging for a meal and will eat carrion or garbage left by humans. Fruits, vegetables, and small creatures like frogs or crayfish also make up a small part of their diets.
HABITAT
The canines can live in nearly any conditions but prefer open plains and thinly forested areas. Their natural habitat ranges from Southern Central America to Northern Canada and across the entirety of the United States. Increasing numbers of coyotes are found in urban environments such as parks given suitable cover from predators. Deserts are also favorite habitats, as they are rife with prey like mice and lizards. We most commonly remove coyotes from properties in Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, Louisiana, and South Carolina.
