St. Cloud Animal Control

As the state of Florida becomes more and more urbanized, the wild animals aren't just disappearing or moving to the wooded areas. Most animals are very adaptable, and are going to make do with whats available to them. That often means sharing space with humans by means of entering sheds, garages or even attics. Food and water are readily available, if you consider pet food bowls, garbage cans, bird feeders and swimming pools.

When this co-habitation occurs, its often associated with noises, bad smells and desease laden filth. Too often, damage to your home or property will occur as well, as the interlopers make new entrances and exits to their newly adopted digs.

It's Coyote Season

This time of year, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) sees an increase in the number of reports of coyotes in urban neighborhoods -- and not unexpectedly. As development encroaches upon wildlife habitat, encounters between wildlife and humans are bound to increase, and the coyote is no exception.

There is no reason for immediate concern just because someone sees a coyote in the neighborhood, according to FWC wildlife experts. Coyotes have lived in and among humans in urban settings for many years with little fanfare.

“Urban coyotes are just trying to feed pups at this time of year, and that sometimes causes them to venture into human neighborhoods, resulting in more frequent contacts with people,” said Breanne Strepina, wildlife biologist for the FWC.

The FWC says residents can prevent most conflicts with coyotes and other wildlife by taking a few simple proactive steps to avoid creating nuisance opportunities.

Coyotes in urban areas become accustomed to humans if there is a food source in the neighborhood, and coyotes in particular look for easy meals. These clever creatures get into pet food and unsecured garbage cans. All such attractants should be removed from the yard, as should other food sources in accessible areas.

Drought conditions and the economy also play a role in the increased number of coyotes seen in urban areas.

“The coyote’s local watering hole may have dried up, so it has to move to find water elsewhere, often in retention and golf course ponds,” Strepina said. “The increase in abandoned homes in foreclosure, with overgrown vegetation, attracts coyotes, providing good hiding places close to food and water.”

Though urban coyotes can be seen at any time of the night or day, it is more common to encounter them between dusk and dawn, particularly near natural areas bordered by water. Residents walking small pets at these times and places should be particularly cautious.

“Carry a flashlight, noisemaker and a stick or golf club when walking small animals,” Strepina said. “That will help scare away wildlife looking for food.”

Keep pets on a leash, and if approached by potentially dangerous wildlife, do not hunch over your pet to protect it. Pick up small pets and stand as tall as possible. Call the Wildlife Alert hotline at 888-404-FWCC (3922) to report any problems with coyotes or other wildlife.

Nuisance coyote behavior will be dealt with by the FWC on a case-by-case basis. If there is a focused problem, there are methods available to residents and professional trappers to target specific nuisance animals.

For more information on living with coyotes and preventing conflicts with these adaptable creatures, contact your local FWC regional office.
