Coyote Information
Coyotes live and actually adapt very well to the urban environment, and therefore coyote sightings in Bedford as well as other cities in northeast Tarrant County are not uncommon. To deter the likelihood of a coyote or other wildlife coming near your residence:
- Avoid leaving food sources outdoors
- Clean up around overflowing bird feeders
- Do not leave dog/cat food outside overnight
- Avoid leaving small pets outside unattended, especially at night
- Keep garbage containers closed and inaccessible
