For the last week or so during the night we have had pigs root up our taro! They were even so bold one night as to WALK UP OUR DRIVEWAY!! This we know because one of the plants they rooted up had a good corm left and we put it in a pot to replant. The next day we woke up to find the pot strewn across the driveway and the parts of the plant sans corm were thrown onto our neighbor's hill. We've had success before putting up green wire fencing at the bottom of our hill as they don't like things getting in their hooves.
However the other morning said fence was strewn across the driveway mangled as hell - one of them most likely got caught in it and ripped it apart trying to break free. We have had this problem before and it seems to happen every year at this time. Neighbors have had them walk right up to the doorway in broad daylight! Some have hired hunters/set up traps. I sure wish I could stay up all night and figure out when they come and through what path they get in. We've put up fencing on the back of the yard to prevent entry up our back hill on the side. It's heartbreaking to see the giant taro thrown about the yardAnyone else have pig problems?
