ABSTRACT: We’ve been saying for years that we need a toxicant to help in the control of wild pigs. Louisiana recently experienced its first brush with a landscape-level large mammal (wild pig) toxicant. Due to the abrupt nature of the introduction and the rapidity of registration, state agencies were caught somewhat off-guard. Many questions were posed about the use of this product from a wildlife safety aspect. This presentation will touch on some of the professional, political, and social hurdles that were encountered upon registration of a feral hog toxicant in Louisiana. Lessons learned the hard way will be shared which will hopefully ease the introduction of future approved toxicants.
