Garbage: The scent of discarded food in trash cans can attract coyotes. They are scavengers and will rummage through garbage for an easy meal.
Pet Food: The smell of pet food left outside, whether for your own pets or for wildlife, can draw coyotes. Always store pet food indoors and feed pets inside.
Compost: An improperly managed compost pile with food scraps can emit smells that attract coyotes. Make sure to use a secure compost bin and avoid composting meat or dairy products.
Grills and Outdoor Kitchens: Residual smells from cooking, particularly meats, can attract coyotes. Clean your grill thoroughly after use and secure any leftover food.
Bird Feeders: While coyotes may not be interested in bird seed directly, the small animals that bird feeders attract, such as rodents and birds, can draw coyotes to your yard.
Fruit Trees and Gardens: Fallen fruit, vegetables, and berries can attract coyotes. Regularly clean up any fallen produce and consider using fencing to protect your garden.
Pet Waste: The scent of pet feces can attract coyotes. Regularly clean up after your pets and dispose of waste properly.
