Florida ranks 3rd in nation for problems with wild hogs

This Wild hog was photographed at one of the game camera sites at Big Cypress National Preserve in May 2014. They occur in all of Florida's 67 counties within a wide variety of habitats, but prefer oak-cabbage palm hammocks, freshwater marshes and sloughs and pine flatwoods. (2014 Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission)

ORLANDO, Fla. – With nearly 1,200 wild hog reports statewide, Florida is No. 3 in the nation for problems with wild pigs, according to Captain Experiences.

One of the most destructive invasive animals in the U.S., the Department of Agriculture reports that these hogs cause approximately $2.5 billion in damage each year.

To track these animals, the U.S. Forest Service uses EDDMapS — a service created in 2015 by the University of Georgia’s Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health to record reports about invasive species.

The number of wild pig encounters reported in each Florida county through this service is as follows.

EDDMapS also provides addresses where some of these encounters have taken place.
