Never Use Poison to Kill a Coyote

A coyote in your homestead will be a nuisance and therefore getting rid of the coyote is the only option you have. Some of the problems a coyote might cause to you include eating your livestock, and also spreading diseases to you and your pets. Further, a notorious coyote could be making a lot of noise at night and therefore disturbing you and the neighbors as well. Out of all these issues, one might consider poisoning a coyote so as to get rid of the creature. However, the use of poison on coyotes might not be the best method of killing the coyote. But why is killing coyote with poison, not a good option?



Poison Could Harm Your Pets
Imagine a situation where you poison the coyote and instead of it turning up to eat the bait your dog eats the bait. That could be the most regretful moments in your life. This happens, and it is because killing a coyote with poison involves use of coyote’s dietary food which is apparently dog’s best food. Therefore, the moment you decide to use the poison on coyote and any other creature that is a nuisance to you and your neighbors remember that your dog or neighbor’s dog could fall the victim to the poison. Actually, not only the pets but also your children could fall victims of the bait. As children play, they might come across the bait and touch it. Although they will not eat it, they dispose and unfortunately forget to wash their hands before picking fruits in the garden. The poison goes directly into the child`s stomach, and there you are with a sick child. Never use poison on coyotes.

Poison is Nonhumane on Coyotes
The poison will really be the worst experience for the coyotes. To begin with, right from the time the coyote bites the poisoned food and swallows; the coyote will begin feeling the burning effect even before the food reaches the stomach. Therefore the problem begins from the time of swallowing. Then further, the coyote intestines and abdominal lining will begin feeling the poison effects, and there will be a lot of burning effect. Shortly, the intestines will be affected, and this takes time. Even before the coyote begins to succumb to the poison, there is a lot of torture on the creature.

Even if the coyote will die after the nonhumane killing method, you will be left with the task of looking for where it died. If you are living next to a bushy place; the coyote might die inside the bushes bringing a very bad smell after the rotten body begins decomposing. This might last for up to over two weeks, and the whole environment will be a mess. All these could be avoided if you could not use the poison to kill coyotes.

Keep your compound free from the attractions that bring coyote and therefore you will have a peaceful time, and a compound free from a coyote. This is the best method of avoiding coyote nuisance. Don’t use poison, call animal removal department to assist with removal of coyotes.
