ACTA Hoghopper Feral Pig Bait Delivery System
- Suitable for
- Feral Pigs
The Hoghopper is designed specifically to prevent non-target animal access.
All access points require an animal to lift several kilograms from a prone position.
Then whilst holding that position, have a reach of 15cm.
Pigs are the only animals in Australia which have that capacity.
The Hoghopper is otherwise sealed, so not even a mouse can enter it.
The pig uses its snout as a shovel, wedge and ram and can lift heavy weights.
It is these specific traits that have enabled the Hoghopper to be used for deployment of toxic material in sensitive ecosystems.
The Hoghopper is constructed from lightweight aluminium and powder coated.
The bolt holes are pre-drilled and door rails reinforced to withstand constant and rough use in the tough Australian environment.
The Hoghopper is rodent proof as long as all the doors are securely closed.
Four pails of Pigout Feral Pig Bait (256 x 250g baits – 64kg of bait material) or 60kg of grain will fit into the hopper of the Hoghopper.
The feed chamber slopes to gravity feed baits into each side of the Hoghopper.
There should be no sticking of baits to the chamber walls – baits should freely flow.
