Have you got a cat? Get a nice free one at your local shelter and let it out during the daytime to earn it’s keep. Keep it inside at night away from the coyotes.
We had a dog, though, that seemed to keep the mice at bay. It was a beautiful border collie pup that one day a year ago strolled up my dirt driveway. Knowing it was lost and would be killed by coyotes that night if I didn't do something, I rescued her and drove around the desert to my (somewhat) near neighbors to see if they'd lost a dog. Nope. So long story short, we had a new member of the family!
It was a wonderful dog too. In early October, it was bitten in the face by a rattlesnake but survived the night it spent at the vet hospital. After she recovered, sadly, she wandered a little too far from our property and was killed by coyotes.
My wife and I both agree that we can't have another dog. It's just too heartbreaking to have something like that happen again.
I had a cat the got nailed by a timber rattler. Didnt last ten min.The cat tried to catch it.
