There have been numerous coyote sightings around the Village lately. 

The best thing you can do to make your location less desirable for coyotes is eliminate any food sources.  This would include your garbage – keep tight fitting lids on your cans.  Keep your small pets inside unless you can accompany them and/or have them on a leash. 

If you see a coyote while out with your pet, pick the pet up immediately.  Avoid feeding pets or wildlife outside your house. The animals you are attracting become easy prey for the coyotes.

To scare a coyote away experts recommend screaming, yelling, blowing a whistle or a horn.
