Default Coyote repellant.

My nephew just bought a house in a fairly rural suburb. His property
has a cemetery on one side and wooded property an two sides. He's
worried about all the coyotes he hears and sees around, he has two dogs,
one small and two little girls. He asked me if a good pellet gun would
discourage them from around his property. I suggested a wrist rocket if
the city didn't allow pellet guns. Might there be a chemical repellant
available? Or, some better way to handle this? How about ****ing on
the property lines?


Best chemical repellent for 'yotes contains lead!!!

We have a lot of Eastern Coyotes around here. (They are a crossbreed of
the Coyote and the Canadian gray wolf). These are far more likely to
kill dogs/kids that their smaller cousins. I have seen them in the yard
at night and they don't retreat easily.

As for chemical repellents, most folks who have tried them around here
say they only work for a week or so, then the 'yotes are used to them
and come on in.
