How to use the website
Information you can enter
FeralPigScan is a purpose-built community resource for mapping and monitoring feral pigs in your local area.
Record sightings or evidence of feral pigs
Such as observations of feral pigs, hoof prints, scats, howling or camera photos. The more information you record, the more informative the feral pig map will become over time. Trends in movement will start to emerge, which can be used to decide where control should be undertaken.
Record feral pig damage or problems
Such as damage to crops, lambs, and native vegetation etc. Recording the damage that feral pigs cause is important for deciding when and where feral pig control should be undertaken. It can also be used to help you access resources and support.
Document control activities
Such as baiting, trapping, ground shooting, etc. Recording control activities can help you to (1) create a map of where you are focusing your efforts and keep a record of where you have used a technique, (2) evaluate whether changes are needed, and (3) help you work with your neighbours to synchronise control to get the best outcomes.
All information regarding control is managed privately.
