Reducing Wildlife Conflicts
Seeing coyotes, fox etc in the yard, open a window and yell so it knows it has been spotted. Throw ice cubes out at them to scare them ( the ice cubes melt so you don't have to go pick them up afterwards) I have to give my sister credit for the ice cubes as she used it to scare the turkeys off her deck.
The cubes will startle them but won't really hurt them. If enough neighbors do this and the cubes land within their flight zone, they will run off and be more cautions when aproaching homes.
The worst thing people do is provide food intentionally or unintentionally (bird feeders, garbage) and run in the house and be quiet so the animals think it is ok to hang around. Make loud noise, bang pots and pans, let them know they have been seen and are unwelcome so close to the home.
Those who feed wildlife are killing them. Some people think it is neat to have wildlife up close or are concerned that they need more food. This leads to animals not acting wild and having to be shot or euthanized. If you care, respect their wildness and don't leave food out.
