There are incredibly easy and cheap ways to secure a trash can lid. If you can't figure it out, then you're no smarter than the coyote. As for flies, just be mindful of what you're throwing out. If it's something especially stinky and/or something that might already contain parasites (raw meat, rotten vegetables) then seal it tightly in a separate bag. Also, clean your garbage can once in a while. Fly eggs tend to build up at the bottom of the bin. They hatch and then feed on the garbage. If you just wash out the bin and remove the eggs, then there won't be any flies. C'mon dude, I know you're smarter than this. You can't honestly be losing the battle with a coyote, and losing the battle against single-brain-cell insects. Society developed solutions to these problems hundreds, if not thousands, of years ago.
