Residents reminded it’s mating season for coyotes

Burlington, Ont.—Jan. 31, 2023— The City of Burlington is reminding residents about steps they can take to reduce the risk of conflict with coyotes in the winter months when the animals may be more visible.

Coyotes tend to be more visible at this time of year because they are looking for food and a mate which means they can be more active during the day.

Residents can prevent coyotes from visiting their properties by following some simple precautions:

• Clean up around or remove bird feeders which attract rodents, one of the coyote’s main food sources.
• Store garbage, compost and pet food securely, in a place coyotes cannot access.
• Install flashing lights, motion sensors and/or noise makers outside your property.
• Make sure spaces around/under decks and sheds are closed off.

Residents can request an audit of their yard for coyote attractants by city Animal Control staff, please email animalshelter@burlington.ca. 

Residents are reminded to report their concerns about direct or indirect feeding of...
