The reason for them moving into residential areas might be because their normal food supply is getting sparce. That would mean they're desperate for food and might take on dogs or small humans without hesitation.

Coyotes don't like very high frequency noises. My farm neighbor used to have one as a pet tied to a chain. When the local train was within five miles whistling it would howl continuously because it didn't like that sound. Therefore, as another deterant... find and use some high frequency sound maker that is beyond human's ability to hear.

But...the most practical method is to shoot the damned predator with a shotgun preferably.
