The situation
A West Covina property had a coyote problem that had gone beyond the occasional sighting. Once coyotes start treating a neighborhood as territory, hazing and fences alone often aren’t enough — and the risk to pets and family makes it something you don’t want to wait on.
Why coyotes require a professional
Coyotes are smart, cautious, and legally protected in specific ways under California regulations. Trapping them safely and humanely — without endangering pets, people, or the animal unnecessarily — takes the right equipment, placement, and know-how.
What coyote control looks like
Photos are from our own crews on real jobs across Orange County and Los Angeles — never stock.
What we did
- Assessment — evaluated the property, the coyote’s movement and access, and the safest approach.
- Humane trapping & removal — used proper, humane methods to safely remove the coyote, in line with California wildlife regulations.
- Prevention guidance — advised on removing attractants and, where useful, exclusion measures to keep the property from drawing them back.
The result
The coyote was removed safely and humanely, and the property owner got peace of mind and a plan to keep the area less attractive to coyotes going forward.
