    What Attracts Them?

     

    Javelina usually visit homes to find food, water or shelter.

     

    Food for javelina can include lush vegetation and many flowers and succulent plants that people place around their homes. Birdseed, table scraps and garbage can also attract javelina.

    Water can be provided through chewing on an irrigation hose or by drinking from a pool or other water source around a home. Javelina will also dig and roll in moist soil during summer days to keep cool.

    Shelter can take the form of a porch, an area under a mobile home, a crawlspace beneath a house, or any other cave-like area. Javelina will seek shade during summer days and warmth during the winter, if these areas are not properly secured.

    What Should I Do?

     

    If javelina have become a problem or have caused property damage, see the suggestions below to deal with the situation. Do your part to keep javelina healthy and wild because their removal almost always means death. Work with your neighbors to achieve a consistent solution to the problem.

     

     

    To discourage a javelina, immediately

     

    Scare off animals by making loud noises (bang pots, yell, stomp on the floor, etc.); throwing small rocks in their direction; or spraying with vinegar, water from a garden hose, or large squirt gun filled with diluted household ammonia (1 part ammonia, and 9 parts water). The odor of the ammonia and the nasal irritation it causes will encourage the javelina to leave. Avoid spraying ammonia in the eyes as it may cause damage even at this low concentration. Ammonia should not be used around wetlands because it is toxic to fish and amphibians.

     

    If the animal is confined, open a gate, have all people leave the area, and allow it to leave on its own. If it is still there the following day, contact a wildlife control business or the Arizona Game and Fish Department.

     

    If you see javelina while walking your dog, avoid going near the javelina and quickly take your dog in a different direction.

    The above is from a Google search. I like the ammonia part, that's why I asked if you have pets, kids etc. Seems like these animals need to be added to the high list. I wish you luck.

    Land grabbing has been happening since the beginning. Now as to the why? Well can be money, metals, oil, uranium, politics, civil war, slavery.... you name it and it has been used as an excuse. The latest endangered species bullpucky is a Trojan horse just like global warming. 99% of all species who have lived on this rock are extinct, so will humans at some point.

     

    Only one way to fix it....
