OC Animal Control: Coyote Safety Awareness
OC Animal Care Animal Control Officers (ACO) will respond to aggressive, sick, or injured coyotes, as well as coyotes in traffic or those on school grounds or other areas of concern. This is to address immediate public safety concerns and to impound any sick or injured animals.
Requests to remove healthy, non-aggressive coyotes, including proactive trapping of coyotes, is not a service OC Animal Care currently provides.
Requests pertaining to population management of coyotes, trapping, or for the capture of evasive coyotes due to aggressive or habituated behavior, or injured animals, requiring chemical immobilization for capture, are referred to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Residents, HOAs, or other community groups may hire a private trapper, licensed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, at their own expense.
California Coyote Hunting Laws
Full provisions are somewhat complicated, consult California Fish and Game Commission for full details.
CDFW §465.5 (g)(1). Immediate Dispatch or Release. All furbearing and nongame mammals (This includes coyotes) that are legal to trap must be immediately killed or released. Unless released, trapped animals shall be killed by shooting where local ordinances, landowners, and safety permit. This regulation does not prohibit employees of federal, state, or local government from using chemical euthanasia to dispatch trapped animals. Trapped animals must be euthanized or released immediately on site. Relocation of trapped wildlife is prohibited.
Coyote Cacher

Coyote sightings can also be reported to the Villa Park City Hall at (714) 998-1500 or email info@villapark.org.
For instances where immediate responses are necessary contact the OC Animal Care.
Coyote Mating Season
From mid-January to mid-March coyotes are locked in a territorial battle for the right to breed which can mean more aggressive, protective and territorial male coyotes. The gestation period is about 8 weeks. Spay or neuter your pet. Coyotes are attracted to and can mate with unspayed or unneutered domestic dogs. Unspayed female dogs in season will attract male coyotes and unneutered male dogs can be lured away by the scent of a female coyote in her ovulation cycle. Additionally, there have been cases of male dogs being lured by the female coyote’s scent and killed by male coyotes.
Coyote Tips
- Never Feed Coyotes
- Keep pets indoors. Dusk to dawn is when coyotes are most active but they aren’t always nocturnal
- Rodents and rabbits are primary food sources for coyotes. Any action that encourages rodent activity will encourage coyote activity
- Supervise pets in yards
- Never walk your dog off leash
- Keep dogs on short leashes and avoiding using retractable leashes
- Be ever more vigilant during the spring (uprearing season)
- Don’t assume a wall will keep a coyote out. They are great jumpers often scaling 6 feet walls. 8 foot walls are safest
- Coyotes are excellent diggers too so be mindful of areas where they could easily dig
- Ensure your backyard is secure and that there are no holes in fences or gates open
- Think twice about owning livestock, chickens or rabbits. Not only are these animals vulnerable but they also attract coyotes leaving your pets vulnerable too.
- Keep trash securely contained
- Don’t leave food or water out and pick up fallen fruit or standing water
- Secure compost as it’s another source of food for coyotes
- Keep yard free from thick brush or weeds which act as shelter
- Leave noisemakers on hand to scare away coyotes that may enter your yard, such as whistles and horns
- Yell, clap hands, blow a whistle and try to make yourself look larger if you have a close encounter with a coyote.”
- Coyotes have been known to den under decks, shed, in large pipes, and in wood piles
- Residents should inspect their properties to make sure possible den sites are secured and that access to these areas is blocked off
