Wild Hog Control for HOAs & Property Managers
Feral hogs cause thousands of dollars in turf damage overnight and create serious safety hazards on community grounds. Wildlife Pros provides professional wild hog removal and management programs for HOAs and property managers throughout Greater Jacksonville.
Feral Hog Damage on Managed Communities
Florida’s feral hog population is estimated at over 500,000 animals, and Northeast Florida communities built near wooded buffers, agricultural land, and natural preserves face regular incursions. A sounder of feral hogs can root up an entire section of turf, sod, or landscaping in a single night, leaving behind cratered ground, exposed irrigation lines, and damaged tree roots. Retention pond banks are particularly vulnerable — hogs root along the waterline for aquatic vegetation and invertebrates, destabilizing the bank and accelerating erosion. Beyond turf damage, feral hogs are aggressive when cornered and pose a genuine safety risk to residents, children, and pets. HOAs and property managers who delay action typically face escalating repair costs as the herd returns to the same productive feeding sites repeatedly.
Wildlife Pros provides wild hog management programs scaled to the community. We begin with a site assessment that identifies rooting activity, travel corridors, water sources, and entry points from adjacent habitat. Removal is conducted using corral traps and box traps sized for feral hogs, positioned at active feeding and travel sites. Traps are monitored daily and checked on a schedule that minimizes stress to captured animals. We document all removals and provide reports for board records. For communities with recurring pressure from adjacent land, we can recommend fencing solutions and coordinate with neighboring landowners or county wildlife management agencies. All work is conducted in compliance with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you respond to a wild hog problem on our property?
We offer same-day and next-day assessments for active hog damage. Trap deployment typically begins within 24–48 hours of the initial assessment. For communities with ongoing pressure, we can establish a standing service agreement with priority response.
Do you offer ongoing wild hog management programs for HOAs?
Yes. Recurring service agreements include scheduled trap monitoring, removal of captured animals, activity reporting for board records, and priority response for new incursions. Ongoing programs are the most cost-effective approach for communities adjacent to wooded or agricultural land where hog pressure is consistent.
Can you help with retention pond bank repair after hog damage?
We focus on hog removal and management. For bank stabilization and turf repair, we can refer you to qualified landscape and erosion control contractors in the Jacksonville area. Completing removal before repair is essential — hogs will return to and re-damage a repaired bank if the population is not addressed first.
How much does HOA wild hog control cost in Jacksonville?
Cost depends on the size of the community, the level of activity, the number of traps required, and whether an ongoing program is needed. We provide free on-site assessments with written proposals for board review. Call 1.904.717.0718 or use our contact form to schedule.
