Welcome toNuisance Wildlife
Wild hogs, also referred to as feral boars, are an invasive species in Florida. This animal causes many ecological and agricultural concerns in the state, even going so far as impacting humans and household pets. If you live in a rural area of Florida, you may have seen a few wild hogs roaming your property.
Feral boars can be an extreme nuisance to your living environment. Additionally, these animals can be incredibly dangerous, as they often attack smaller animals and sometimes humans. In other words, allowing wild hogs to remain on your property can lead to damage to your lawn, injury to yourself, and even the death of household pets or livestock.
Because of the risks associated with allowing wild hogs to remain on your property, you should always call a professional wildlife removal company when you spot them.
Wild hogs are nocturnal animals, which means they spend most of their time roaming around at night. If you aren’t a night owl, you might not notice them walking around your yard. Because of this, it’s important to be aware of the signs of a wild boar infestation.
If you notice the following signs, you could be dealing with a hog problem:
If you notice these signs of wild hogs, you should always contact a wildlife removal company. These animals can be confrontational and dangerous due to their large tusks, meaning attempting to remove them on your own could result in serious injury.
Tons of people love animals and having some wildlife in your backyard can be exciting. However, wild boars are not one of those animals you want roaming around your property. Being aware of the risks of allowing feral hogs to stay in your yard can prevent you from experiencing damage or harm.
Male boars have large tusks that can seriously injure humans, domesticated pets, or even livestock. Allowing them to live on your property could lead to severe injury. Additionally, attempting to chase them off could lead to a very dangerous confrontation.
As mentioned previously, feral boars like to rummage through trash cans, overturn gardens, and stop at nothing to find a food source. This can lead to significant property damage that will cost a pretty penny to fix.
Feral boars can transmit infectious diseases to animals and in some cases, even humans. For humans, coming in contact with wild hogs can lead to hepatitis E, tuberculosis, leptospirosis, and trichinellosis. Additionally, feral boars can cause your animals to contract swine fever, brucellosis, and trichinellosis.[1]
