Milton is warning its residents about predators that could be preying on pets.

Coyotes were recently spotted in the city, and those reporting weren’t referring to seeing Wile E. and the Roadrunner on television.

A Milton resident told police she saw two coyotes in her backyard Monday around 2 p.m. near Cogburn and Francis roads. Other residents reported hearing pack noises between Potterstone Glen and Country Ridge subdivisions.

Some residents have reported that their cats have gone missing. Several Milton residents commented on a City of Milton Facebook post saying they had seen coyotes recently too.

Milton officials advise residents to contact a nuisance wildlife trapper from a list provided by  the state Department of Natural Resources. The DNR suggests that residents bring their pets in at night and put up fencing for small animals that must remain outdoors.
