Wild boars often leave the forests in search of food, which they have in abundance in the city, in gardens and in dumpsters. Unfortunately, meeting a wild boar can end badly for us. We suggest how to scare away wild boars so as not to interact with them directly.
Is the wild boar useful? It feeds on plants and small animals
Wild boars feed mainly at night. They live in herds of 20 to 50 individuals. And although many of us see them as a threat, they are useful animals for the forest ecosystem. By digging, they mix the forest litter and enable self-sowing. They eat insects, larvae and pupae, but also carrion or small animals, thanks to which they ensure balance in nature. They also feed on plants: grasses, roots, bulbs, forest fruits and acorns. Unfortunately, they quickly adapt to the environment, so in recent years they have been visiting cities and houses more and more often, destroying crops, e.g. potatoes, which they love, but also other ornamental and fruit plants. What to do to discourage wild boar from visiting our garden?

How to scare away the wild boar? Try proven home remedies
Wild boars have a good sense of smell but poor eyesight. They are guided by the smell, and when an unpleasant smell reaches their nostrils, they often withdraw. A home remedy to scare away wild boars is to use shoe polish. It has an intense odor that wild boars can’t stand. It is enough to smear the surrounding trees with it, and in this way we will effectively discourage them from staying in a given territory. Human or animal hair will work similarly. Wild boars strongly react to the smell of other predators and certainly will not look into our garden when they sense a smell that threatens them. It is enough to place locks of hair or balls of hair in stockings and hang them around the property. However, remember to replace the repeller after rain.
