Always supervise small pets when they’re outside, and especially around dawn and dusk. Keep cats indoors and poultry in a predator-proof run. Feed pets indoors or remove all food when a pet is finished eating outside. Store food waste in secure containers with tight-fitting lids. Keep birdseed off the ground around feeders, or attract birds with seed-bearing wildflowers in lieu of feeders. If you see a coyote around your home and feel safe to do so, scare it off by making loud noises, throwing small objects in their direction or spraying it with a water hose.
