• First of all, it is important to understand why coyotes visit your habitat; they do so to get easy access to food sources.

It is good to use garbage cans with tight lids so that coyotes cannot gain access to the leftovers inside. Also, they can visit your landscape to hunt rodents such as rats and mice, etc. It is important to make efforts to control the population of these rodents and coyotes will be automatically controlled.

Note that coyotes can dig burrows below the fences; hence, it is important to install fences with some height below the ground as well.
• Some homeowners also prefer to use light sources and heavy noise to scare Denton County coyotes away from premises.
