Coyote Removal Services in Truckee, Tahoe, Penn Valley, and Yuba County
Protecting Your Livestock and Property from Coyotes

Gold Country Wildlife Control offers professional coyote removal services in Truckee, Tahoe, Penn Valley, Yuba County, and surrounding areas. Coyotes are a significant threat to livestock, pets, and property throughout these regions. Their adaptability and intelligence make them challenging to manage, but our experienced team employs effective, humane strategies, including monitoring, targeted trapping, and property protection methods to mitigate their impact.

The Challenge of Coyote Removal in California

Coyotes thrive in diverse environments, from the mountains around Tahoe and Truckee to the rural areas of Penn Valley and Yuba County. They pose a serious risk to livestock, including goats, chickens, and cattle, as well as pets and small wildlife. Despite their importance in maintaining ecological balance, coyotes can quickly become a problem when they start preying on livestock or entering residential areas.

In California, coyote removal is further complicated by strict regulations that limit trapping options. Large-scale removal efforts are often ineffective because coyote populations can quickly rebound, filling any gaps left by removed individuals. Instead, a focused, strategic approach is necessary.

Our Targeted and Humane Coyote Removal Approach

At Gold Country Wildlife Control, we use targeted, humane methods to address coyote problems. Rather than attempting large-scale removals, we concentrate on identifying and removing specific coyotes that have become habitual nuisances in Truckee, Tahoe, Penn Valley, and Yuba County. This approach effectively reduces risks to your property while preserving the broader coyote population.

Using the Collarum® Live Snare for Coyote Trapping

One of the primary tools we use for coyote removal is the Collarum® Live Snare. This device is specifically designed for the humane capture of coyotes. Unlike traditional snares, the Collarum® uses a baited trigger mechanism that captures the coyote by the neck with a soft cable. When a coyote pulls on the bait, the snare activates, gently securing the animal without causing serious injury.

The Collarum® is effective because it targets coyotes specifically, reducing the risk of accidentally capturing non-target species. Once a coyote is captured, it is humanely euthanized in compliance with all California state regulations. This method allows for the targeted removal of nuisance coyotes without endangering other wildlife or pets.

Monitoring and Focused Coyote Removal

Due to the challenges of managing coyote populations, we employ a strategy focused on:

  • Camera Monitoring: We use cameras to monitor areas where coyotes are frequently sighted or causing problems. This allows us to identify specific coyotes that have become habitual nuisances, such as those preying on livestock or entering residential areas in Truckee, Tahoe, Penn Valley, and Yuba County.

  • Targeted Trapping: Once problem coyotes are identified, we use the Collarum® live snare or other state-approved methods to remove these specific animals. This targeted approach effectively manages coyote populations while minimizing disruption to the broader ecosystem.

Protecting Your Property and Livestock from Coyotes

Coyotes are notorious for preying on livestock, including goats, chickens, and cattle, causing significant losses for farmers and ranchers. They can also pose threats to pets and small wildlife. Beyond removal, we provide several services to help protect your property from coyote attacks, such as:

  • Fencing Solutions: We recommend and install predator-proof fencing to keep coyotes away from livestock, pets, and residential areas.

  • Deterrent Devices: We utilize motion-activated lights, alarms, and other deterrent devices to discourage coyotes from approaching your property.

  • Habitat Modification: We offer guidance on reducing food sources and shelter opportunities to make your property less attractive to coyotes.
