Trapping a Pittsburgh Coyote is the best possible way of getting rid of the animals from your property. In order to set a coyote trap perfectly, you need to find holes that has been dug by Coyote or other animals, or any other Pennsylvania animal or you simply dig a hole by yourself and make it look like a burrow. You can dig a burrow and include a meaty bait in your trap. Make sure you use the bait in all the burrows you discover around your Pennsylvania property and check later the following day if the coyote has come to eat the bait( do not set trap when a bait is first set by the burrow). Try to wait few days before you eventually set the trap.



By the end of the first few days, a Pittsburgh coyote would have been used to eating baits from its preferred burrow, then you can set the trap between the third and the fifth day. There are quite a number of live traps you can use in trapping a Pennsylvania Coyote, however one issue you may have to deal with after capturing a coyote is that the animal may have to be euthanized. The best trap you should consider using for a Pennsylvania Coyote is the one that can grip its paw, and the trap will not be removed until you go there to un-set it.

The cage trap is another option you can consider for trapping a Pittsburgh Coyote , but this trap seems to have a lower success rate compared to the body grip trap. Never use a metal cage trap because Coyotes are often wary of such types of cages and may be reluctant to go inside to eat a bait. The positioning of trap and setting of bait will determine the success of trapping a Pennsylvania Coyote. You can also make use of a lethal trap, in form of a snare to trap a Coyote. In this case, the snare will simply loop a cord around the animal’s neck, and choke it- while this is happening, the coyote may struggle and drag the snare around for a while before it is eventually subdued. Lethal traps may kill a Pennsylvania coyote, thus you must be careful of rules and regulations of killing such animal. The Body grip trap seems to be the best option , especially when set with a bait but it is important to lure the animal to a burrow with baits first before setting the trap.
