Wild Pig Control Intelligence
Know the pig. Know the tools. Know the rules
Independent information for landowners and professionals managing wild pigs
“PigBait connects regional knowledge into a coordinated, science-driven framework for understanding wild pig ecology, disease transmission, population dynamics, and management effectiveness.”
Connecting knowledge. Strengthening management. Reducing impact.
The Global Wild Pig Problem
Wild pigs cause extensive ecological and economic damage to crops, pastures, property, native habitats, and wildlife worldwide. They also carry and transmit diseases and parasites that threaten livestock, wildlife, and, in some cases, human health. Effective management requires more than a single trap, bait, or technique.
PigBait integrates practical knowledge of wild pig behavior, disease ecology, control technologies, equipment, and regional field experience to help landowners, agencies, and professionals make informed, science-based decisions.

What You’ll Find Here
Know the Pig
Behavior, movement, feeding, reproduction and habitat—understanding wild pigs before choosing a control strategy.
Control Methods
Trapping, exclusion, hunting and integrated control strategies—what works, what doesn’t, and where each method fits.
Tools & Equipment
Traps, bait systems, cameras, feeders, sensors and emerging technology—practical tools for monitoring and managing wild pigs.
Why Wild Pig Management Matters
Wild pigs and wild boar can cause significant ecological, agricultural and economic damage across regions. They can disrupt native habitats, damage crops and property, compete with native wildlife, and carry diseases and parasites that affect livestock, wildlife and, in some cases, human health. Effective management requires understanding local conditions, regulations, population dynamics and the tools available in each region.
PigBait connects regional knowledge, research and field experience to help communities and professionals develop more informed responses.
