Feral Pig Control – Protecting Land, Livestock, and Ecosystems
Understanding the Threat of Feral Pigs
Feral pigs (Sus scrofa) are among the most destructive invasive pest animals in Australia. Introduced in the early 1800s, these animals have established widespread populations across regional NSW, particularly in wetlands, cropping areas, national parks, and rangelands.
They cause extensive damage by:
-
Rooting and wallowing, which degrades soil and water systems
-
Destroying crops and native vegetation
-
Killing livestock and preying on native species
-
Spreading disease, including leptospirosis, brucellosis, and foot-and-mouth disease (FMD)
Their rapid reproduction and intelligence make them difficult to control without professional, coordinated effort.
AEVPMS Approach to Feral Pig Management
We deliver site-specific Pest Management Plans (PMPs) designed in consultation with landowners, biosecurity agencies, and stakeholders. Every operation adheres to the highest standards of safety, environmental responsibility, and legislative compliance.
Our control methods include:
-
Thermal aerial shooting in compliance with NSW guidelines
-
Ground shooting using suppressor-equipped firearms (where permitted) to reduce disturbance
-
GPS tracking, camera traps, and thermal surveillance
-
Exclusion fencing consultation and strategic baiting (where applicable)
-
Post-operational impact assessment and reporting
We are ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO45001, and pestSMART compliant, with licensed operators skilled in high-impact pest reduction strategies.
