Milwaukee FAQ
Can I trap a coyote on my property?
Live trapping requires a DNR nuisance permit and licensed wildlife control operator. Self-help trapping risks state and city violations and is generally discouraged in dense neighborhoods.
What if a coyote attacks my pet?
Call Milwaukee Police non-emergency and Wisconsin DNR. Take your pet to a vet, document injuries, and report under the bite-investigation process for rabies follow-up.
