Create a Hazing Rattle
On the previous page, we talked about hazing coyotes (scaring coyotes away). One of the best ways to haze coyotes is to scare them away with loud noises. A simple coffee can with change or rocks in it will sometimes do the trick!
To make a hazing rattle:
1. Find a coffee can, oatmeal can, or other metal container with a lid.
2. Fill the can with rocks, coins, or anything else that will make a loud clanging noise when it hits the sides of the can.
3. Shake the can vigorously when a coyote is too close to you or your home.
Note: you can use duct tape to secure the top of the can.
