Sounds cruel but if you have it fenced off already I'd say run a strand of hotwire along the inner and outer perimeters. My mentor had to do it to discourage climbers and diggers before she to cement. Bob Neiman / Walled Lake, Mich.

My ranch is 20 acres and is fenced in with pig fencing. I suspect the coyotes dig under the fencing to get in. I have never seen them on my property before but I hear them a lot at night. Any suggestions how to keep them away?
