The act of deterring these wild canids from residential or agricultural areas involves implementing a variety of strategies. These tactics aim to reduce the likelihood of these animals approaching or remaining in areas populated by humans. Example measures include removing potential food sources and creating an uninviting environment.
Successfully implementing preventative measures provides several key benefits, primarily reducing the risk of property damage and potential encounters with these animals, thus minimizing the chance of conflict. Historically, populations have employed various methods, evolving from rudimentary traps to modern, more humane approaches, to manage the presence of these animals within human-dominated landscapes.
