The fall is a great time to do any building repairs. Any wildlife that may have entered in the spring to have babies will usually be willing to leave in the fall when their young are grown.

Coyotes are a part of nature and can be spotted in both rural and urban areas. It is common to see them in wooded areas, ravines, or near new subdivisions. They primarily hunt from dusk until dawn. Coyotes do not hibernate and can be seen or heard year round.
Coyotes help control rodents, including mice, rats, rabbits and groundhogs. Attacks on people are very rare, more common are attacks from dogs. There is a 50 per cent higher chance of a dog or cat exposing people to rabies.
