Tips to avoid coyote encounters Feeding coyotes, running from them and allowing pets to roam off-leash have contributed to coyotes losing their inhibitions towards people. The Town of Oakville has a number of safety tips to help reduce human-coyote conflicts: · Discourage coyotes from entering your property by removing brush piles or areas that may be perceived as a resting place or den. · Don't feed coyotes. Ensure garbage, bird feed and pet food is inaccessible. · Do not leave food waste in Town garbage cans. · Keep pets attended and on-leash. Town bylaws require pets to be on-leash except in designated areas (off-leash parks). Supervise animals when they are in the yard. Cats should not be permitted to roam freely. · Do not turn your back on, or run from, a coyote. Stand tall, wave your arms and make lots of noise. Residents are encouraged to report coyote sightings and activity through this system. If there is an immediate risk to safety, call 911 as the reporting system is not designed to respond to these types of calls. With spring here, residents can also avoid conflicts with coyotes by staying away from coyote pups, which have or will soon be arriving.
