Feral Swine Trap Lease
Interested? Here is how it works.
Complete the Georgia Feral Swine Educational Course and save your Certificate of Completion.
Join the waitlist or contact the Feral Swine Coordinator once the educational course is complete. The Feral Swine Coordinator will contact you with trap availability timeline, and work with you to ensure feral swine populations on your property are ready for trapping efforts. This may include photos of feral swine activity, pre-baiting trap sites, ceasing hunting activities, etc.
Coordinate trap delivery with Feral Swine Coordinator. The deposit, first month rental fee, signed contract, and intake survey must all be collected at the time of delivery.
Check traps regularly, update the Feral Swine Coordinator with removal efforts and numbers, and continue best practices for whole sounder removal.
Upon conclusion of trapping efforts, coordinate pick up with Feral Swine Coordinator, pay final rental fee, and complete the exit survey.
