Feral Pig Control Solution – Remote 4G

Feral Pig Control System

The TRAILTECH Feral Pig Trap NZ is an integrated solution designed to actively capture and control feral pig populations across New Zealand.

This system combines three critical components to maximise capture success and reduce wasted time in the field:

1. Heavy-Duty Drop-Gate Trap

A custom-designed galvanised steel drop-gate trap with modular panels configured to create a secure, enclosed capture area capable of holding full sounders.

2. 4G Controller & Electric Lock

Integrated 4G connectivity linked directly to the trap gate, allowing remote triggering via an electric latch. This enables precise gate drops at the optimal moment.

3. WiseEye DC2 4G Cameras

Strategically positioned around the trap to monitor pig activity in real time, allowing operators to assess behaviour and trigger the gate when the entire group is inside.


This integrated approach reduces missed drops, increases full-sounder capture rates, and gives landowners greater operational control.

FAQ's

This is a live-view triggered trap — you confirm the pigs and decide exactly when the gate drops. It requires 4G coverage at the trap location: one connection for SMS gate control, and additional 4G coverage to run the WiseEye camera for real-time viewing.

This trap is ideal for locations with good 4G coverage, where you can get a clear camera view and reliably trigger the gate via SMS. It performs best in open or semi-open environments where pigs regularly move through and can be monitored remotely.  

Trap Weight

  • Gate – 60KG approx
  • Panel – 40KG approx

1 Gate and 6 panels, approx 300KG per trap.

Trap Setup

Once you have the trap at site, setup is done in 10 minutes with two people. The trap uses a pin to connect each panel and is secured by R clip or similar.

Connecting Electronics

Mount the 4G Controller box and Solar Panel to a solid piece of wood and then use a Y post to position this close enough to the electronic trigger at the front of the trap. Due to the impact pigs have once trapped its not recommended to mount the 4G controller box directly to the panel.

We’re developing a smaller, lighter, portable pig trap built for flexibility. Easy to transport, quick to set up, and ideal for moving between sites as pig activity shifts. Where 4G connectivity isn’t available, the trap can be manually triggered once pigs enter the cage.
