What FeralPigScan provides
Feral pigs are a introduced pest species that cause an estimated $106.5 million damage to agricultural industries, our environment and our communities each year. They cause direct damage to agricultural productivity, threaten food security, degrade habitats, damage culturally significant sites, damage sources of bush tucker, and require a high level of management.
FeralPigScan is a free resource for landholders, Landcare groups, pest control professionals, local government and biosecurity organisations. Anyone can use FeraqlPigScan to record information about feral pigs in their local area. All information you record is managed securely.
Record where you see feral pig activity and control locations
- Sightings or evidence of feral pigs - Where have they been seen recently?
- Damage caused by feral pigs - such as predation of lambs, crop damage, etc.
- Control activities - such as locations where trapping, baiting, or shooting has been undertaken.
Information you enter is managed securely
Unless you have agreed to be part of a private landholder group using FeralPigScan, your information will remain confidential and your location cannot be identified by others.
