Our coyote control services include
the removal and
control of problem coyotes from residential and commercial areas, and wherever they are causing problems. Coyotes
cause significant amounts of damage in Washington. They are most noted
for killing pets, such as dogs and cats, but are also well known for
killing poultry and livestock. Coyotes also dig up irrigation lines,
destroy crops and can pose a threat to human safety.
Below is more information regarding coyotes.
Coyote (Canis latrans) Coyotes
are found throughout the United States, and Washington State is no
different. We have coyotes on both sides of the Cascade Mountains
and they are found in urban and metropolitan areas. Areas such as
Bellevue and Seattle have large coyote populations. The
coyote is a small to medium size canine. It has a slender body, pointed
ears and a bushy tail. The coyote is brownish and gray with a
light cream to white colored belly. In Western
Washington coyotes are more reddish looking. A typical adult male
weighs from 25 to 40 pounds and females weigh between 20 to 30
pounds. Urban and metropolitan coyotes weigh a little
less. In
rural areas, coyotes feed on all sorts of wildlife such as mice, rats,
raccoons, rabbits, squirrels, porcupines, feral cats, ducks, geese and
grouse just to name a few. They also feed on apples,
cherries, plumbs, melons and black berries. In urban areas they
feed on just about the same thing. Working
with Biologist, Tim Quinn, we have found in the urban areas that
2% of a coyote's diet consists of mice and rats, and 1/3rd of their
diet is house cats. Fruit of all varieties is also part of
their diet. Our Coyote Control Programs are non-lethal.
