Blue Ridge Wildlife & Pest Management has provided coyote removal, coyote control, and coyote pest control in Charlottesville, VA since 1998. 

Coyotes can adapt easily to our environments due to the abundance of food and shelter.  Humans provide food sources such as trash cans and pet food bowls that are replenished regularly.  Urban landscapes provide a great food supply for coyotes because they attract prey or other wildlife species that coyotes are looking for.  Once a coyote has found this prevalent food source it will look for a den site that is relatively close to that food source.  Homes or the area around your home can become a den site due to increases in urbanization or land development in coyote inhabited areas, and the steady increase in prey species in these areas does not help.  The coyote prefers a vacant woodchuck den as close to his prey or hunting grounds as possible.  Old barns, low laying decks, and storage sheds have been used for den sites as well. As long as we continue to urbanize and provide an abundance of food to the coyote they will continue to adapt to human environments and pose a threat to human health.

We will set the most humane traps available for the situation.  Local laws vary from town to town.  Humane padded foot hold traps or humane foot snare traps are the preferred traps, but not all localities will allow their use in urban environments.  Professional grade single door humane live cage traps can be used in urban environments, but do not solve the problem fast.  Like cage traps, padded foot hold traps and foot snares do not harm the animal and allow us to remove non-target animals without harming them.
