Do you have stray or wild animals outside your STRs?

I've got a lot of stray cats around my places.  I tried trapping some there were around my apartments.  I used a box trap.  My maintenance guy saw coyotes going into the traps and stealing the bait.  Their body is longer than a cat, so the door of the trap wouldn't close.

So I put these lines up on my Craigslist ad:

New for 2020, all houses now have indoor plumbing and an outdoor cat^.
Feel free to take outdoor cat^ with you when your work is done here.
Really, I mean it. Take the cat^ with you.

^Outdoor cat may be substituted by stray dog, rabbit, hawk, squirrel, coyote^^ or fox^^.
^^Coyote or fox only at apartments, not at houses.
