The City of Edmonton held a news conference on Monday now that denning season is underway for coyotes.

Experts say they believe recently-adopted techniques and proactive steps will mitigate the chances of negative encounters with humans.

Park rangers will be able to use “kinetic impact launchers” to frighten and cause pain to problem coyotes in late 2023 .

Coyote mothers will pick out spots to have their pups, often in steep areas at the top of river valley or ravines.

In 2023 , “launchers” were used 10 times on coyotes after the approach was adopted late in the year .

That number rose to 42 in 2024 as the practice was used the whole year .

As of the end of February , the method had been used three or four times so far this year .
