Living With Coyotes in Southern California

Coyotes have become a part of living in Southern California due to an abundance of resources provided by humans. We ask all residents to report coyote sightings directly to Long Beach Animal Care Services
online
or at 562-570-7387. The City of Signal Hill contracts with LBACS for all animal-related services.
Many people do not know how to prevent coyotes from entering their neighborhoods or how to manage coyotes that have already arrived. We've posted information living with urban wildlife
on our website
. You can also view a recent presentation from Long Beach Animal Care Services with helpful tips on managing coyotes
