Have porkis destroying young fruit trees need suggestions for bait.
Thanks In advance for replies

I've used sunflower seeds or any animal urine and extra salt added

Anything with salt.

Urine

Old pair of leather boots.

An old timer once told me that porkies love bacon grease. Never trapped them so I Don't know if it works.

I know they like T 111 siding really well and indoor/outdoor carpet on decks.:) Seen lots of damage from them over the years.

It's the salt in the glue their after.

Salted apples or a rag soaked in salt water and put at the back of the cage should do the trick.

A fuit tree?

Yes fruit trees (2 yr old apple) have not visited site yet so not positive it is Porkies, client says between 70 and 90 trees have been debarked 2 to 2.5 feet up. Visiting 2morrow to see, taking cages (single door and double door) and cameras

tried trapping them last summer because had a customer complaining they where chewing his trees up so i set 5 cages up with salt and apples for bait after a month i gave up caught a lot of raccoons and one skunk i eventually said if you see him call me never heard anymore

Turpentine on a rag. This smells like tree bark, their food, what they want anyway. Foothold, body grip or cage. Trail is huge and nearby. It should be straight as a ruler, from one spot to the next. They are nocturnal and return to the den site in the mornings.

Find the tree's it's eating, then backtrack to the edges of the trees to find the trail. One trail, mabe two at the most, but probably one main trail, from the den to the orchard. Could be under a shed or outbuilding near the orchard. They love being under buildings to sleep.

It's the salt they like

Sounds like rabbits

Follow up
Thought I drop a post and thank folks for their suggestions on bait. Ended up using Apples cut in thirds coated 1 side of the "sliced" apple with salt, also used clippings from a doug fir branch. Ended up taking 6 porkies.

Nice work! Only porkies I have experience with were in Texas....they suckered in for red fox gland lure while predator trapping. Possibly interested in the salt in the urine????
