It will killthem if they lick enough of it, then it will kill anything that eats on the carcass, fur or feather....

better to set out there with riflein hand ready to shoot from a good perch, high power light for night shooting might help some to, although if youve been seeing it in the am, then it is a creature of habit and will return then as well.

the other thing i would do would be to set a snare instead of poison,that way if you catch anything else t would most likely be a stray dog.

yes it will, it will also kill just about every other animal , that drinks it.

 

Dear goodness please dont set antifreeze out to kill a predator. It is a cruel way to purposefully kill an animal. It takes days to accomplish death and it has no disrimination in terms of what it kills. It will kill anything. I've had to kill several opossums that have identified my yard as a smorgasbord. I've listened at night with my rifle at the ready and I've targeted the predators responsible for killing my poultry. It was humane and quick, easy, cheap, and efficicient.

 

Antifreeze causes liver failure, and the animal will die over a period of several days. If your heart is set on poison, why not choose a quicker kind?

And, I wouldn't be so sure that only the coyote can get to it. Your neighbors cat, for instance. A blue jay. One of your chickens, perhaps, or a squirrel. A skunk.

 

its really simple. just take a dead chicken, and stuff Coyote Poison up its Spinkter. and put a few in the area where you see fresh tracks..they will then eat the poison.in the chicken... End of problem.

 

What do you use for coyote poison?

 

Around here, people just go out and shoot off their guns or rifles whenever coyotes come around. They don't even have to shoot the coyotes --- the noise is enough to **** them off.

That's what I'd do if I were you. If you don't have a gun, get some fireworks and start setting them off randomly. The coyotes will move on to easier marks.

 

I went camping last night with five little boys. We had all kinds of fireworks and made a ton of noise. Within an hour of settling down, the coyotes came through, probably not 100 yards away. We had a latern on and a fire going and were still up talking.

Scared those kids to death! we ended up going home at 1am since they all couldn't fit in the car!

I was very surprised that they came through there at all after all the racket we made.

Beef up your chicken protection for now and let the varmint be until late fall and its pelt is prime, then trap it, sell it, and use the money for more chickens.

Forget poisons of any kind. Please?

 

...................Coyote(s) are like the Italian\French Army.......they are gonna ......."Havva suppa first , then a little Vino , then maybe squeeze in a little bang bang , then itsa time to head for da Casa.....fordy.....

 

Antifreeze causes kidney failure--and a long, slow, agonizing death. I have often considered it for coyotes around us--but too risky for other animals, and I just couldn't. Even to a coyote! Initially, antifreeze is metabolized into alcohol (affected animals appear drunk) and Calcium Oxalate crystals. The crystals actually plug up the kidneys and cause renal failure. Other animals that would feed on the carcass of an animal killed by antifreeze would be fine because the antifreeze would already be metabolized. Fascinating, really. I think there are better ways to kill varmint, though, but it sets one thinking sometimes...

Vet who lurks

 

everything people here have told you is correct. put your chickens up at night . under lock and key, if you must. and wait until nov. or dec. I would probably wait until jan. trap him, and make moeny on his pelt. But never put out poison, deer or other animals, will probably get into it. and in the oder of the natural food chain, every animal that at off that animal would die. that is a sad thing to do. please don't do it.Oh it would kill that animal, but also many others. We have them here in michigan also. we have them on our homestead. We hear them at night. We also have fox, and you name it, we have it. But I would never set out poison. IT is just to risky. and what if a child got into it? anti freeze smells sweet, a child could pick it up and drinlk it. kids do crazy things. even if you tell them no.

 

Antifreeze containing Eythlene Glycol is very poisonous to animals and humans, it has a sweet taste and they will lap it up, produces a very agonizing death by destroying the Kidneys, very cruel in my opinion even for Coyotes.
Check the label of antifreeze, some contains Propylene Glycol which is considered safe (?) and is use in cosmetics and food products to retain moisture. The cheap antifreeze usually contains the poisonous stuff.

I don't understand why any sane person would even THINK of asking others if it's O.K. to put antifreeze out for wild animals. If you have a brain at all you'd automatically know to NOT DO such a STUPID uncivilized act.

 

Yes it will do the job and it is not a slow death, its pretty quick. Please people they are killing his chickens get over it. Its almost like blaming a victim of a crime because they should not have had nice things in there house to lure the criminal to them. Liberals I just do not get how they think!

 

I agree completely. 2 nights ago they got my chiuaua. She was a part of my family and what they did to her was inhumane. I want to kill them with my bare hands.

 

Stone, watch your labels. Liberal used to be such a good word till El Rushbo put his fat mouth around it. :no: These are modern times, no need for something archaic as poison. We have gas powered projectiles that are quick and efficient. Please use them responsibly.
We owe it to the critters.

Renee, if you do skin that yote, take a look at those hams and tell me that you can tell the difference from a deer or hog. They usually look pretty good. One of these days I'm gonna give it a try ( cooked well done ) :yeeha:

happy varmint huntin

Laying poison around that ANY animal can get into is pretty foolish.Lock up your birds and get THE animal responsible,thats what a thinking person would do,not indiscriminately kill anything that can drink.

No offense here but...

Are you nuts? Antifreeze?
jesus christ on a crutch....

take a good size rifle, set out some dead chickens around the coup in your line of fire and WAIT.

antifreeze... ack!

BTW boiled cyotee it pretty tasty.

You will have to sit and wait... take turns. set up a good distance away so your movements dont spook them.
it could be ***** or fox or even MINK. Ive seen rats kill and drag off small chickens also.

antifreeze will kill whatever eats that dead animal and so on... NO antifreeze.
jeeze.

put up a corral around the coup and get a donkey they hate dogs.

 

If a coyote can get to it, so can a dog or cat.

Stonerebel I sure hope you don't live close to me. Anti-freeze DOES cause a slow painful death. If you ever watch animal emergency on TV there are lots of people who bring in their pet that has gotten into anti-freeze. Not a pretty sight.

 

Try Fly bait (the little crystals) mixed with Mountain Dew. Cheaper than anti-freeze and they'll be dead within 10' of the dish.

Works great on Racoons and other night time varmits that keep slipping by and/or only visit when your snoozing. Put it out when all the animals are in bed, pick it up in the morning.

About 2 tablespoons of fly bait crystals with 2 cups of Mountain Dew dropped a big racoon 3 feet from the dish. Wish I would have known sooner, I've been sleeping with windows open, gun at my side for over a month trying to nail that bugger!

 

Don't worry. I went out and got the antifreeze. Nothing had got into it. I lock my chickens up at night, but this was in daylight. But I'm more worried about my sheep. I have a good barn, all except it has no doors. I have the plywood to make the doors, was waiting for my son to help me. Not sure I can do it myself.

I talked to my neighbor. What I saw was a yellow color. He said it may be half coyote and half dog. He shoots the coyotes all the Time. I can't watch all of the time.

 

Oh yeah, just because someone doesnt want something to die a horrible LONG agonizing death, then that means they are liberals

 

Get a Great Pyrenees LGD and you won't have any problems, I promise.

Great Pyr's sound like a good idea...but got anything else that will survive a florida summer?

 

ok , i understand not wanting them around, but we're talking florida, kill one and another will replace it .....

just a thought ,
something we use here,i have several neighbors with un nuetered dogs, they wander, and i dotn want them around., luckily i have a teen son , and a hubby who likes to play paint ball...
a coyote, or dog shot with one of these will have a welt or a darn good bruise.... , and the scare will keep them away , yes you still have to "hunt " them , but you can fix them up
it works here for dogs !
except for one, and on that one , well, its amazing what a well aimed broadhead does to a dog that has bitten a child ...
go ahead and say what you will, but i wont tolerate my child being bitten because the meth heads down the road wont control thier mutt.

I agree with you completely!
