A new patent-pending bait being developed at LSU hope to help fight them off. Professor John Pojman is a chemist at LSU who was asked to come up with a bait that would not only kill the pigs but also remain environmentally friendly.
“We need to kill about 800,000 a year for the population to be stable. So this is an enormous problem. They pose a threat to levees, they damage property, so it’s a very serious problem, but they’re very smart. And so we need to have a mechanism that can not only kill the hog humanely, which this does, but also make sure if any scavenger comes upon the carcass, it isn’t poisoned,” said Professor Pojman.

LSU said it currently needs to wait for EPA approval to begin field testing the product and for the government to issue its patent before they can put this bait on the shelves for folks.

I’ll buy a pallet right this second. I don’t even need to know the cost.

I’m optimistic we can wipe these things out. Would be a helluva accomplishment.

Maybe they can help with the Asian carp problem next.

Uh...I misread this. I was picturing a bait that would make pigs fight each other to the death. Maybe they can develop that next.

200 years from now, they'll be excavating on our farm and won't find many places without mass hog graves at this point.
Sausage making was fun at first. But 30 here, 30 there, every damn night at times, and we're just digging holes and burying them.
