From 12 News:
Coyotes are making their presence known in neighborhoods, according to the Arizona Game and Fish Department.
Regardless of their bushy tails and dog-like behavior, coyotes are known to be clever and can be dangerous, so staying one step ahead of them is key.
One of the most important steps you can take is securing your garbage containers and cleaning up any fallen fruit or anything on the ground they may want to eat. You should also avoid feeding or leaving pets outside.
Officials advise if you see a coyote outside your home, you should make loud noises, such as banging a wooden spoon on a metal pot, using a water hose or even shaking a tin can filled with rocks or coins.
The worst thing you can do is ignore this looming threat near your home, as it could result in the coyote losing its fear of humans and cause bold behaviors, AZGFD said.
Officials also say if you encounter a coyote in your neighborhood, do not run. You should never turn your back on a coyote because the coyote could chase you. Maintain eye contact, make loud noises, wave your arms, or throw something at them, AZGFD said.
If you see a coyote on your property or in the neighborhood, officials ask that you contact (623) 236-7201.
A THREAT SPREADING QUICKLY
https://www.phoenix.gov/parkssite/Documents/Stinknet%20Brochure.pdf
This little winter annual (6-24 inches) has only recently been recognized as a prolific invasive weed in the Phoenix Metropolitan area and elsewhere in Arizona. The weed has spread from several initial infestations in Northwest and North Phoenix into metropolitan Phoenix and is now spreading into Southern Arizona.
To manage the spread of this weed, control must take place before plants go to seed. If infestations are allowed to propagate over the course of several seasons, they will form dense stands with prolific seed production. In residential areas, Stinknet can be manually dug out as soon as it is recognized.
It is important to remove the plants before they develop mature seeds. But once Stinknet is established for a second year, chemical control becomes necessary. Glyphosate with MSO surfactant can be applied to emerged plants before flowering.
Stinknet stands should be performed by a licensed commercial applicator. Updated herbicide recommendations can be found at www.swvma.org.
