Feral hogs, coming to a neighborhood near you.
Lone Star Trapping specializes in trapping feral hogs to mitigate the risks to residents, businesses and the public caused by these animals.A long-time nuisance to rural Texas communities, feral hogs are continuing to multiply at an increased rate; however, now their new backyards are encroaching closer into city limits.
Despite not being native to Texas, according to Texas A&M AgriLife there are over 5 million feral hogs in the state and of the state’s 254 counties, these animals can be found in all but El Paso. Feral hogs continue to multiply at a quick rate due to the fact that sows can have a litter of piglets every three months. Depending on access to proper food and clean water, the liter can consist of between eight to 15 piglets. Once female piglets reach six to eight months, they too can begin reproducing, Walton said.
“It is the most efficient way we are able to catch a full group of hogs,” Walton said. “Instead of having no control over when an animal is trapped, risking tripping the trap and capturing a non-target species, we have the ability to shut the trap when we want to.” Although many service requests come from developments, residences and larger outdoor spaces, the company has answered some that are located close to businesses or other public facilities.“We removed almost 20 hogs not even 600 feet behind a Baptist church, just off the edge of the church’s recreational areas where they play baseball or have their field days,” Walton said. “Families were gathering in this space and that was where the pigs were too.
