what herbicide yall using that hogs dont like...they done tore up one section of hog wire i put up and i dont have a helicopter handy
 
We use GrazonNext. Can"t say for sure they don"t like it, might just be coincidence, but seems like they leave what we spray with it alone.

Even if its not a pig repellent, its an excellent herbicide. One application is the kiss of death on berry vines, briars, thistle, bull nettle, carolina horse nettle, and broad leaf weeds. Doesn"t have a grazing restriction either. You do need a license to get it.

Plan on trying it out on kudzu this year.
 
ok,i use grazon p&d...must be something still growing that hogs love in my hay patch...guess i'll stock up on more lead additive...i know it works but applying it at nite sure wrecks my beauty sleep.
thanx for the reply
 
Nancy. About the only thing we have found down here that works is a gun. I know many have tried different things such as Grazon seems to work for a while.But the hogs get use to it so we start over.There have been some big cats seen around the county.Hopefully they will kill some off.
 
I have never use GrazonNext.
We have lots of hogs here in E. Texas too. You can not kill them all. Nancy I know them all but the carolina horse nettle. Is it like the bull nettle? we have lots of them.

Caroline Horse Nettle has a pale purple flower and makes a yellow seed ball about the size of a marble. We used to call them May bells. Its deadly to cattle. Luckily, cattle rarely touch them. The stems and tips of the leaves have small thorns.

Horse and bull nettle are perennials and usually hard to kill. Bull nettle has a huge root. I dug one up and it was 37 inches long and 4 inches in diameter. GrazonNext will take them out.

Grazon is a little slower on green briar. Hurts it real bad 1st yr, generally takes it out the second. Its an application issue because of the leaves. Its leaves are waxy and unless a good surfactant (NOT soap) is used, the herbicide just rolls off.

Anything with a large root can be hard to kill, but Grazon works well.
 
Hopefully it will slow them down until the sodium nitrite bait is legalized in 2015.

That will finally start a major reduction in these nasty things.
 
I asked one of my biologist friends why the pigs will wear out just certain spots in the pastures once. We looked at the area, 50 yard circle in a 20 acre field, he pointed out a certain plant that he said builds up sugars in it's roots as it gets ready to grow for Spring.

Year after year they always hit the same area and plow it up to the point we can barely walk through it while every where else is just a little random rooting and allot lighter.
