We have been using a Pig Brig system here for the past 18 months with great success, during this time
we have effectively dispatched 200+ feral pigs with it alone. When familiar with the setup it can be
installed and armed in less than an hour.
1. High Capture Efficiency
• The Pig Brig is highly effective at capturing entire sounders, reducing the risk of “educated” pigs
escaping and becoming trap-shy
• The mesh design allows multiple pigs to enter without requiring a mechanical gate reset
2. No Need for Remote Activation
• Unlike cellular gate traps, the Pig Brig doesn’t require electronic triggers or remote monitoring,
making it simpler and less expensive to operate in areas with poor connectivity.
3. Easy to Transport and Deploy
• It is lightweight and packs down small, allowing easy transport into remote or rugged areas
• One person can deploy the trap with basic tools and minimal training, and the right basic setup
• We have numerous locations setup with fixed posts already installed which means that trap
setup can be done in ~30mins, see photo attached
4. Minimal Infrastructure Requirements
• Ideal for sensitive or inaccessible terrain, including national parks and riparian zones where we
operate
5. Humane Capture
• The design reduces injury to captured pigs, aligning with animal welfare guidelines and ethical
control practices.
We have found the Pig Brig to be an effective feral pig trapping system ideal for operations aiming to
remove whole sounders in rugged, remote or sensitive environments. Its passive, maintenance-light
design makes it especially useful in conservation areas, like national parks, where minimal ground
disturbance and humane practices are priorities. However, success with the Pig Brig depends on
proper setup, site selection, and frequent monitoring. It is also crucial that is cleaned and washed off
immediately after use as it can hold a smell
