Wondering if anyone on here has any proven methods to safeguard around the house against coyotes....
I'm asking for my mom who is almost 70 and has 2 very small dogs. My mom has a very hard time putting weight on and literally weighs like 88 lbs. She's seen coyotes, sometimes 2-3 at a time prowling around her back yard which abuts the Pine River in danvers....She only takes them out on a leash now but being so tiny herself she's understandably scared.
I told her it's very unlikely for them to come after a person, but if one was bold enough to make a move on her leashed dog, she'd be f***ed.
She called the town, which was predictably useless. Seems like none of the towns are taking this problem seriously. My neighbor's cat was eaten literally on my front porch by coyotes. I hear and see them all the time now. Being well north of 200lbs and walking or running my 90lb dog I'm not very concerned when I see them, but my mom is getting very scared.
I suggested she get pepper spray or even bear spray but I'm a bit concerned about her blasting herself in the face in a panic.
Anyone know of anything that can be done around the yard to discourage them? She lives in a condo complex made up of a bunch of single family homes under a condo association. Due to environmental shit with the river, no fences can be built in the yards.
