Some of the advice here will get you in real trouble. There's a big difference between not getting caught and not breaking the law. If you have a family, good job and an LTC you have a lot to loose.I am in a very populated suburb and have 2 small dogs under 20lbs. We have seen a coyote in our backyard, in our frontyard.
If you are in a populated suburb then shooting any kind of hunting implement (gun, air gun or bow) is probably illegal, and rightly so because in a tight neighborhood it wouldn't be safe.
IIRC yote hunting season is now closed.
With a paintball marker you could easily find yourself on the receiving end of some kind of moonbat charge of cruelty to animals.
Other than a good (expensive) fence I don't see a lot of effective options.
