Please be advised that a possible coyote was sighted yesterday afternoon in a wooded area off Vetter Court, near Aaron Road. There have been no additional sightings.
If you see a coyote, please call North Brunswick Police at (732) 545-3200.
In an effort to ensure the safety of residents and their pets, below are some safety precautions to reduce the likelihood of conflicts with coyotes:
- Never feed a coyote. Deliberately feeding coyotes puts pets and other residents in the neighborhood at risk.
- Feeding pet cats and/or feral (wild) cats outdoors can attract coyotes. The coyotes feed on pet food and also prey upon the cats.
- Although extremely rare, coyotes have been known to attack humans. Parents should monitor their children, even in familiar surroundings, such as backyards.
- If coyotes are present, make sure they know they're not welcome. Make loud noises, blast a canned air siren, throw rocks or spray them with a garden hose.
