Every acre damaged by feral hogs represents a loss. Lost time, lost money and for some, lost opportunities. Wild pig rooting can destroy a homeowner’s property or farmer’s crop in a very short period of time. The longer a group of pigs remain active in your area, the greater the risk of damage to your property each evening.

They Work at Night. You See the Damage in the Morning.

Feral hogs often take advantage of the cover and cooler temperatures of nighttime to search for food. By sunrise, you’re left with the aftermath. Rooting damage through the yards and fields. Damaged landscaping. Weakened or damaged fencing from pigs trying to gain access to food and water. Those damaged areas can create hazards for people, livestock and equipment.
If the hogs found something they liked last night, there’s a good chance they’ll come back tonight. Under favorable terrain, weather and wind conditions, wild hogs can detect food, bait, or potential threats up to 7 miles away. Their snouts are highly specialized for “rooting” (aka digging/excavating) and can pinpoint the scent of buried corn, grubs, and other edibles up to 25 feet underground.

Hogs don’t care how much you’ve invested in your property.

They don’t care about the yard you’ve worked hard to maintain, the landscaping you’ve invested in, or the pasture you’ve spent years developing. A few nights of repeated rooting can turn a well-maintained property into a costly repair project. Aside from the damaged soil and grass, what would it cost to:

Repair a damaged sprinkler system?
Replace sections of bent or broken fencing?
Restore damaged landscape?
Repair a pasture?
What about the time you’ve lost dealing with the damage?

The annual recorded damage is in the BILLIONS! Wild Hogs have been documented in 38 states with an estimated population of around 9 million hogs in the wild.

Here’s just a few of the annual U.S. damage estimates:
$3.4 Billion in total economic damage
$1.6 Billion in Agricultural losses
$2.5 Billion annual spending in

The Problem Isn’t Going Away on Its Own

Current methods of wild pig control include both lethal and non-lethal methods, but we’re still not effective enough to control the population explosion. Feral hogs are the most prolific reproducing large mammal on earth, possessing reproductive capability that behaves more like rodents than large wildlife. Because of this intense math, wildlife management agencies estimate that land owners & land managers must remove 70% to 80% of a local feral hog population every single year just to keep the population stable. Anything less, their birth rate will continue to outpace control efforts.

That’s why having the right trap—and putting it in the right place—matters.
