Feral Pig Removal Measures
Across the region, Council undertakes a number of measures to monitor and remove feral pigs.
The most effective and successful method used has been trapping programs as it doesn’t affect native animals and can be placed in dense forest areas.
If you are a landholder you are legally obligated to undertake control activities for feral pigs on your property. If you see feral pigs or have feral pig activity on your land, contact Council to secure a trap for your area. Council has eight transportable cage traps available.
Visit our pest management webpage at www.cassowarycoast.qld.gov.au/services-facilities/environmental-services/pests-mosquitoes-rodents and click to link to the application form and conditions of use. A deposit for traps is required and refunded when the traps are returned. Council also has pamphlets available on the usage of traps.
