3) The Tracks (Similar, but Not Identical to Dogs)Įspecially in muddy conditions, but even in the dry Nevada sand, you might be able to identify coyote tracks. Coyotes use their scat to communicate territory boundaries, so one discovery likely means that more are on the way. Unlike dog scat, which is soft from store-bought food, a coyote’s feces are typically filled with the hair and bones of their food. Other animals do as well, but you can use feces on your ground to determine whether a wild animal of this family has stopped by recently. When coyotes cross your property, they tend to leave behind gifts that are less than pleasant. For reasons unknown, it occurs especially often in response to fire sirens. But it’s the howl that tends to stand out. In that case, you might also hear some other noises, from barks to small, dog-like whines. When you hear the howling nearby and continuously, your property is probably part of a coyote territory. The same noise also helps them bond, and it might simply feel good. Coyotes howl in groups specifically to tell other groups that their territory is occupied. 1) The Noises at Night (and Sometimes During the Day) But first, find out whether you need to take action with these 4 ways to determine if coyotes are crossing your property. You have a number of choices to make sure they don’t bother your family or pets in the future. Even if they only destroy your garden, the incentive to protect your property remains.įortunately, you’re not helpless. Reports of dead pets are commonplace on the local news, and the general threat of coming face-to-face with this predator is not to be underestimated. Unfortunately, that ‘adventure’ doesn’t tend to end well for homeowners in this area. They seek out highly populated areas for easy food opportunities and some adventure. They’re so common in Nevada that the state has stopped counting.
When you live in and around Las Vegas, it’s a common sight: a coyote is prowling the neighborhood.
