Coyotes are part of our communities—but they belong in the wild. We help municipalities monitor coyote activity, identify potential threats, and take the right action when necessary.
We are not here to remove healthy coyotes. Our goal is to help communities live safely alongside them by identifying coyotes that are sick, injured, or becoming habituated to people.
Urban coyote management can be a challenge, but with the right information, it can be done effectively. Our website contains information from biologists and researchers from across the country on the nature of these animals, so you can separate fact from fiction.
Rob is the leading expert on urban coyotes nationwide. Nobody has solved more urban coyote issues than Rob. He has given lectures at universities across North America and has been at the forefront of urban coyote behavior and innovated techniques to remove them. With 40 years of experience and a member of the North American Trappers Hall of Fame, the choice is clear.
Protect the healthy population by identifying the sick. Route your coordinates and field imagery directly to our biologists.
If imminent threat to human life, dial 911.
Our program is designed to assist municipalities in monitoring coyote populations in their village. Unfortunately, when coyotes get diseased or habituated to humans they need to be removed. We are not interested in the removal of healthy coyotes.
Our goals are to protect both domestic pets and humans from coyotes that have crossed the line, either because their health is compromised or have been habituated and have lost their fear of humans. Studies have shown that a coyote with Sarcoptic Mange is 5 times more likely to have a conflict with a human or domestic pet.
When you fill out our sightings page, there are certain questions, and pictures that will help us decide if and when a coyote warrants removal. If your village is part of our network, they have shown that they are proactive in protecting both your public safety and that of your pets.
