Appearance

Coyote tracks are often confused with dog paw prints, but there are subtle distinctions between the two. For instance, coyote tracks have more of an oval shape than the footprints of domestic canines, and their front feet are larger than their hind feet.

Longer than they are wide, coyote prints usually measure two and a half inches in length and two inches in width. Coyotes leave distinct claw marks, as the outer toes on both the front and back feet are longer than the inner toes.

Problems

Finding coyote tracks is a telltale sign that the pests are nearby. Their presence is alarming because the pests can carry various diseases and parasites harmful to humans and domestic dogs. Coyotes also prey on small pets that are left unattended and forage in gardens looking for fruits and vegetables.

Control & Removal

Property owners can erect fences to help keep coyotes out. Limit their access to food by securing garbage cans with tight-fitting lids and keeping pet food inside. To ensure the safety of house residents, pets, and property, individuals should contact a trained wildlife professional immediately after finding coyote tracks. Critter Control wildlife specialists have the tools and training to safely and humanely remove coyotes from neighborhoods.

Your representatives make your company! They are knowledgable and responsive.  I was fortunate to have a great representative for several years.  When that changed, I was concerned that the new tech wouldn't be as well trained.  I am extreamly happy with my new tech and can say that all of the service employes have been outstanding.

The technician is very knowledgeable and courteous. He called in advance to notify me about an upcoming treatment. He inquires about any problems that I may have observed. He leaves a note to inform me that the appointment was completed.
