Great experience. Drake's Wildlife Services was quick with responses, honest and open about pricing, and once I asked to schedule an appointment they got me in within the same week. I was recommended to them by a friend and I would recommend them to anyone who asks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Coyote Removal
Are coyotes dangerous to humans?
Though coyotes typically avoid human contact, they can become aggressive if they learn to associate people with food sources. They pose a greater risk to pets and livestock than to humans.
What should I do if I see a coyote on my property?
Make yourself appear threatening—make loud noises, wave your arms, or use deterrents such as whistles or air horns to scare it away. Never feed coyotes, as this will encourage them to return.
Can coyotes jump over fences?
Yes, coyotes can both jump fences up to six feet high and climb over barriers. This is why we recommend coyote rollers or angled extensions for effective prevention.
Do coyotes travel in packs?
Coyotes usually hunt alone but sometimes form small family groups. When multiple coyotes are spotted together, they're typically family members rather than a hunting pack.
Will removing one coyote solve my problem?
Removing a single coyote offers only temporary relief. Without proper deterrents and exclusion measures, other coyotes will likely move into the territory. This is why we emphasize long-term prevention.
Are your removal methods humane?
Yes, we employ ethical trapping and relocation methods that comply with wildlife regulations. Our priority is always non-lethal control.

We provide rapid response services, including emergency removal. If you suspect a coyote problem, contact us right away.
