5:36 pm
but it's getting worse. >> reporter: that's what concerns vector control. coyotes are common, but now they're following humans and attacking pets. >> that can lead to attacks on humans and pets. the coyote walks through here. when he does he's going to hit his chest area. when that happens the snare tightens around the neck and we have a stop that prevents choking. >> reporter: this other type of trap is hidden and baited with food. >> so when they pull this it releases the trap, the trap comes up over the neck of the coyote and then when the coyote pulls back it's just like a snare at that point.
