City Coyote Control And Management Lexington
Coyote Sightings
City Departments experiencing a increase in human – coyote conflicts are on the rise. Management strategies are often long and drawn out due to multiple agencies being involved, and the fact that removal of the problem coyote fails to address the real issues, which is the environment we provide in neighborhoods across Lexington Kentucky.
Effective coyote control management needs to involve several control methods, rather than just relying on one method for success, and a understanding that effective control is long term. Every control and management plan should detail very important information for residents and city departments including:
- Public Education and Awareness
- Coyote Control Options
- Record Keeping of Sightings and Attacks
- Legal Status and Regulations
- Safety
- Attack Response Plans.
- Private Sector Control
- Budget
Over the past 20 years, we have seen a reversal effect of encroachment, where now coyotes and other wildlife are finding a suitable habitat in urban neighborhoods at a increasingly unprecedented rate. Residential neighborhoods provide a perfect habitat with the availability of food, other wildlife, domestic pets, garbage, and shelter. It is a “perfect storm” as human – coyote conflicts are occurring in every state across the nation. There is great information on coyote awareness available, however not the best information on effective, safe control of coyotes in a residential setting. Many methods used by Animal Pros specialists are unfamiliar to some state agencies, departments, “experts”, and even other private companies.
