I went through this in the town where I used to live in Illinois. Trappers were used initially, but shortly after came the message to live with them.
"Coyotes are native to Northern Illinois and are very common to the area. While coyotes may seem threatening and problematic, they rarely pose a problem to suburban dwellers. Coyotes are typically too intelligent and shy to be easily caught – and so pose a serious problem. It often takes over 200 man hours to catch a coyote, and the cost of doing so typically far outstrips the benefits. *If you see a coyote in your area please remain calm and understand that they are a natural part of the wildlife in northern Illinois."
