Hog Bait Poison

Seems like last year there was an article about a pig bait that LSU Ag was testing. Wonder if that is going well hopefully they will dump it all
Over the state. We can’t seem to put enough pressure on them to get rid of them on our lease in NW LA.

Yeah I hope this happens. Pigs destroy everything where we are in Woodville. I hate them!

You’ll need to trap to make a difference. Figure 9 trap not those little cage bullshits. Be persistent.

No difference. The ones that don't get caught aren't going in it and will mass reproduce. There's no getting rid of them without poison. You could trap 90% of them and the 10% left will multiply enough that what you caught will be back.

LSU should give me the poison. I'd spread it all over my lease and wipe them out. As soon as another shows up I'd spread it all over again.

I think you are referring to a "poison" for pigs developed by Alabama university 20+ years ago. It was super effective. If I remember correctly, it was a noon-toxic, salt based concoction that pig livers cannot break down. It affected ONLY pigs. Basically, after they ate the bait, they would eventually fall asleep and never wake up again.
I don't think it was ever made available. I presumed it was because it was so effective the concerns about misuse were high. Maybe Big Pork bought an buried the patent...

Latest I've heard is it still getting push back from animal activist groups that don't like the idea of poisoning.
It's patented but not EPA approved yet.

The “poison” is sodium nitrite… a food preservative.
Highly effective killing pigs but bc the risk of non target species eating it is a concern this method hasn’t/wont gain traction.
Even when it does, it’s highly unlikely to become recreationally available.
Previous posts are correct - need to kill 90% to maintain and >95% annually to reduce population.

I recall it was developed in Australia a good while back. Not sure the status of using it there. “Hoggone” was the name of it.

Lots of testing and some promising results in test facilities like Kerrville, Idlewild and others.
Lots of legal hurdles and bureaucracy I’m sure.
The primary goals has always been:
- Hogs biology affected only,
- no native species affected
- No secondary consumption kills
- delivery only allows hogs to consume
- quick and effective

I feel like it was getting good traction and moving closer to being legalized. Then, something came up about the bears and it got shut down. Could be wrong but that’s what I recall.

I actually called and talked to LSU about this. I’m on the list for trials when it comes up.

Pink Curing salt you buy for sausage making as a preservative is 100% sodium nitrite. the key is delivering it to the hog without getting it wet and turning it into Nitrate which is less effective. Nitrite drops the blood psi and kills them within a couple hours. Best delivery method I've found is using small mil zip bags (crack rock bags) fill them with the pink curing salt and zip close and roll in bacon grease. Now dig a post hole 24" deep and layer it with diesel soaked corn dropping a baggie here and there in the hole as you layer up. Hogs will root down thru to get corn and when they find that bacon greased baggie its like a treat and they consume it. As it breaks down Game over !! Bring the front end loader on the tractor cause your gonna have hogs everywhere follow the buzzards. Seems like they want to find water fast after it starts working casue thats where your gonna find them close too.
