Feral Pig Control

Specialists in Feral Pig Control within Aotearoa, New Zealand

Feral pigs eat a wide variety of food including grasses, roots, seeds and other plant material as well as carrion, invertebrates (e.g. snails) and ground-nesting birds.  They damage forests by uprooting trees and saplings and eating native plants and invertebrates. They also eat pasture and crops and are known to be carriers of bovine tuberculosis and leptospirosis.

Feral pigs are smaller and more muscular than domestic pigs. They are usually black but they can be ginger, sandy brown, white, grey or combinations of these colours.  Their tusks are triangular in cross-section, approximately 150mm long and extend out from the lower jaw and curve upwards, outward and backwards.
