As a way to keep coyotes wild in Edmonton people are starting to use tennis balls and tennis rackets to scare them away
People are informed to try to scare the animals away with loud noises. If that doesn’t work they are to hit tennis balls at them
We are filling tennis balls with sand to make them the weight of baseballs. Anyone can learn to throw a baseball with quite a bit of accuracy,” said biologist Colleen Cassady St. Clair.
Umbrellas may also be deployed. Umbrellas, think about how weird those are to an animal,” she said.
Similar scare tactics have been used on bears living in national parks and other protected areas for more than two decades St. Clair said. While any kind of noise will do the trick she prefers to throw balls, charge at the animal and yell “bad coyote.”
What would you do if there was a coyote in your yard?
