Hello, everyone, it seems funny asking about coyotes in headfi, but I figured, someone might have the experience of dealing with coyotes.
I have a mid-sized dog in my backyard, and from few weeks ago, these coyotes keep coming and try to snatch away my dog! For this reason, my dog just starts barking from early night to very early morning. And since coyotes seem to be active at about 3-4 AM, when they do come, that's when the frenzied barking comes. My family can't sleep, and I'm pretty sure my neighbors can't either, so I'm looking for a solution here. Putting the dog in the garage is not an option, since the dog goes crazy when its there, and because garage connects directly to my room.
Our fence is metal, and maybe 4 feet thick, but there's about 3-4 inch gaps in between, like the one above. And outside the fence is a small downward hill, with trees and weeds. What would be the most cost effective way to stop this? I was thinking about installing several mouse traps outside the fence just to scare the coyotes, but do not know if it will work...
thanks for your help.
