Wild hog destruction in the southern U.S. shows no signs of getting any better and all indications are that they are getting worse.  Much to the hog’s delight, urbanites are moving to the country and bring their landscaping with them.  Nothing is more inviting to a hog than a cool, damp yard full of St. Augustine grass.  As a number of folks will tell you, hogs can destroy an entire yard in a matter of hours if not minutes.  The damage does not just entail replanting the yard but in most case doing extensive dirt work to smooth the furrows.

If you are looking for a cost effective deterrent, a high tensile 4-point barbwire with 3″ spacing may be your answer.  Unlike conventional barbwire, high tensile is made with a smaller but much stronger wire.  Therefore, the barbs are much more effective as they are more aggressive and with 4 points every 3″ there is much more coverage along the run of wire.  At just pennies per foot and virtually no maintenance it is an excellent alternative to traps and snares.  Uvalco Supply keeps a large supply of high tensile fencing products at all times and tools to go with it.  Call one of our knowledgeable staff today!
