Coyotes are already here. The question is what they're after.
They're established across Palm Beach County and adapt easily to suburban and urban streets, denning in the wild edges and slipping in at night. The honest risk isn't to you — it's to small pets and the easy food that pulls a shy animal in close.
Preserves, greenbelts & canals
Coyotes den and travel the county's natural cover — preserve edges, drainage canals, and the greenbelts that thread between subdivisions. From there they slip into the neighborhood after dark and back out before sunup.
Golf courses & vacant lots
Open turf, water hazards, and untended lots give them easy cover and easy hunting. A course or a stalled construction parcel next door is often where the animal you're seeing is actually holed up.
Small pets left out at night
This is the real risk, and we won't dress it up. Cats and small dogs left in the yard — especially at dawn, dusk, or overnight — are what a bold coyote will go after. Attacks on people are very rare.
Trash, pet food & fallen fruit
A coyote that finds an easy meal stops being shy. Open trash, bowls of pet food left outside, and fallen mango or avocado under the tree teach them your block is worth the visit — and that's when they get bold.
How to tell a coyote has settled into the neighborhood.
One sighting on a trail camera is normal — they pass through everywhere. Two or three of these together mean a coyote is denning close and treating your block as part of its route. That's the point to call.
Call (561) 735-1975- Sightings at dawn or dusk trotting through the yard, street, or greenbelt
- Yipping, howling, or a chorus of them somewhere nearby after dark
- Grayish, tapered scat full of fur or seeds on trails, driveways, or curbs
- Outdoor cats going missing, or small dogs suddenly nervous about the yard
- A worn path or den site dug into brush, a canal bank, or a vacant lot
- The same animal showing up on the doorbell camera night after night
Assess first. Trap only where it's warranted.
A coyote problem isn't solved by rushing straight to traps. Most of the fix is reading the property, cutting what draws them in, and protecting the pets — with targeted trapping used where there's a real threat, not as the default.
- 1
Assess the property & sightings
We walk the property and the block, log where and when you're seeing them, and look for dens, travel paths, and what's drawing them in. That read decides everything that follows.
- 2
Remove attractants
The unglamorous fix that does most of the work: securing trash, pulling pet food and water off the ground, clearing fallen fruit, and closing off the cover and easy meals that made your yard worth the trip.
- 3
Targeted licensed trapping
Where there's a genuine threat to pets, we set legal, targeted traps under Florida trapping rules — placed on the animal's actual path, not scattered around. This is done where it's warranted, not by default.
- 4
Hazing & exclusion guidance
We show you how to re-teach a bold coyote to fear the yard — noise, motion, and being consistently unwelcome — plus fencing and gaps to close so it stops treating your property as a corridor.
- 5
Pet-safety plan & follow-up
You get a plain-language plan for keeping cats and small dogs safe — supervised times, leash and yard rules at dawn and dusk — and we circle back to confirm the pressure is actually down.
The right way to handle a coyote is quietly and precisely.
Florida lets licensed trappers take coyotes year-round under state trapping rules, and where a real threat to pets exists we do exactly that — on the animal's actual path, not with cages thrown around a yard. But we lead with the assessment and the attractant work, because on most properties that's what actually solves it.
- Assessment first — we tell you honestly whether trapping is even warranted
- Licensed, insured technicians working under Florida trapping rules
- Targeted placement and humane handling — no poisons, no scattershot cages
A lot of the fix isn't trapping at all.
We could set traps and send an invoice. But a coyote that keeps coming is almost always being rewarded for it. These four things drive most of the problem — and none of them are solved by a trap alone.
Feeding them — on purpose or not
The single biggest reason a coyote gets bold. Trash, outdoor pet bowls, and fallen fruit turn a shy animal into a regular. Cut the food and half the problem often walks away on its own.
Leaving small pets out unsupervised
A small dog or cat alone in the yard at dawn, dusk, or night is the exposure that matters. Supervised time outside and a watch on the dog at those hours does more than any single trap.
Assuming trapping alone fixes it
Trapping is targeted at a real threat, and it works where it's warranted — but if the attractants and access stay, the greenbelt just sends the next one. The removal and the prevention go together.
Never hazing a bold coyote
A coyote that's learned people are harmless keeps coming back. Consistent hazing — making the yard loud and unwelcoming — resets that, and it's a big part of what we coach you through.
Coyote calls across Palm Beach County.
We're based in Lake Worth and cover the county end to end — the coastal neighborhoods, the canal-lined subdivisions, and the western communities backing up to preserves and golf courses where coyotes den. Pick your city for the local read.
It starts with an assessment — then a quote.
We don't put a flat coyote price on a website, because no two coyote calls are the same and pretending otherwise would be dishonest. It starts with a property assessment: we walk the site, log the sightings, find the dens and travel paths, and figure out what's pulling the animal in. From there you get a written quote — and a straight answer on whether trapping is even the right move.
What the assessment covers
- A walk of the property and the surrounding block to map sightings, paths, and den sites.
- An honest read on the actual risk — mostly to small pets — and whether trapping is warranted.
- The attractants to cut: trash, outdoor pet food, fallen fruit, and easy cover.
- A pet-safety and exclusion plan you can start acting on the same day.
What sets the quote
Mostly whether targeted trapping is warranted, how much attractant and exclusion work the property needs, and the size of the site — a single yard is a different number than an HOA covering a preserve edge or a golf course with acres of cover. We tell you which one you actually have, and you see the price in writing before any work starts. A big share of the value here is simply an honest read: sometimes the right call is attractant removal and hazing, not a trap at all.
Homes, HOAs & communities
We handle single-family yards worried about a cat or a small dog, and community-scale coyote concerns for HOAs and property managers across the county — from a canal-side lot in Wellington to a preserve-backed community elsewhere in Palm Beach County. Coyotes rarely travel alone in the ecosystem; if you're also seeing raccoons or other nuisance wildlife, we handle that on the same visit.

Call (561) 735-1975Are coyotes dangerous to my pets or kids?
Honestly, the risk to people — including kids — is very low; documented attacks on humans in Florida are rare, and coyotes usually want nothing to do with you. The real risk is to small pets. A cat or a small dog left out in the yard, especially at dawn, dusk, or overnight, is what a bold coyote will actually go after. The whole point of our work is protecting those pets, not scaring you about a threat to your family that mostly isn't there.
Why are there coyotes in my neighborhood all of a sudden?
Coyotes are established in every county in Florida, Palm Beach County included, and they've adapted right into suburban and even urban areas. Yours are almost certainly denning in a nearby preserve, greenbelt, canal, golf course, or vacant lot and moving through after dark. If they've gotten bold, it's usually because something on the block is feeding them — open trash, pet food left outside, or fallen fruit. They were probably always around; they just got a reason to come closer.
Do you trap coyotes, and is it legal in Florida?
Yes, we do targeted trapping where there's a real threat, and yes, it's legal. Florida allows coyotes to be trapped year-round by licensed trappers under state trapping rules, and we handle it that way — licensed, on the animal's actual travel path, not scattered cages around the yard. But we'll be straight with you: trapping is done where it's warranted, not by default. On a lot of properties, removing attractants and protecting pets does more of the work than a trap does.
How do I protect my pets from coyotes right now?
Start today, before we even get there: don't leave cats or small dogs outside unsupervised, especially at dawn, dusk, and overnight; walk small dogs on a short leash and stay with them in the yard at those hours; bring pet food and water bowls indoors; secure the trash; and clear fallen fruit. Those steps alone drop the risk a lot. When we come out, we build a pet-safety plan around your specific yard and routine on top of that.
Will the coyotes just come back after you remove them?
They can, and that's exactly why trapping alone isn't the plan. As long as the den cover, the travel corridor, and the easy food are still there, the preserve or greenbelt next door will eventually send another coyote through. The fix that lasts pairs any targeted removal with cutting the attractants, closing off access, and hazing so the property stops being an easy, rewarding stop. Remove the reason they're coming and far fewer come back.
How fast can you come out, and what does it cost?
We serve Palm Beach County from Lake Worth and can usually get out to assess quickly — call (561) 735-1975 and we'll tell you the soonest. Pricing starts with the property assessment, and the full quote is built from what we find: whether trapping is warranted, how much attractant and exclusion work the property needs, and how big it is. You get the number in writing before any work starts, and the assessment is where we tell you honestly whether this even needs trapping at all.
