My neighbours have a problem with a pair of coyotes frequently coming v
close to their house (on an acreage) and threatening their dog and cats etc.
Was wondering if anyone could suggest some aversion therapy (other than
bullets or poison) to help deal with the problem.

12 guage shotgun and rock salt. If that doesn't work, substitute
buckshot.

12-Ga Sting-ball rounds or rubber baton rounds would be perfect, you
want to get their attention and let them know that hanging around
where people live isn't safe. But you may have to go through your
friend at the Police or Sheriff Dept. to get them.

They have some nice 40mm and 50mm rubber riot rounds with a CS or
Pepper Gas payload that releases on impact, and I'd think that would
make a much more lasting impression... But if you want to try that
route you need to borrow the grenade launcher to go with them.
