Abstract

In recent years, the conflict between human beings and wild boar (Sus scrofa) has increased due to the growth of wild boar population and the change of land use. From August to October 2018, in the Hunchun area of Jilin Province, the effect and spatial characteristics of wild boar damage control were studied in the sample plots where the prevention and control measures had been used and not used. Techniques applied include playing the voice of the Amur tiger (Panthera tigris altaica), playing the scream of wild boar, playing the voice of wolf (Canis lupus), using vision equipment including solar blinkers, as well as deploying of anti-animal ribbons, electronic fences, and feces the Amur tiger’s, especially comprehensively using the sounds and feces of Amur tiger’s. Based on the data of wild boar damage control in 2018, combined with the published data from 2011 to 2017, we further analyzed the temporal and spatial characteristics of wild boar control measures. The validity period is the interval between the beginning of the experiment and the beginning of the damage when the wild boar enters the sample plots. The results are as follows: (1) There is a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group (P<0.001). The validity period of the control group is (1.33±0.58)d. For the experimental group, the validity period of wild boar control measures between the used and unused groups are (16.25±9.00)d and (20.58±9.61)d. There is no significant difference (P=0.127);(2) The study on the effect of the same wild boar damage control measure in 2011, 2013, 2016, 2017 and 2018 showed that there is no significant change (P=0.200; P=0.295; P=0.221; P=0.080; P=0.090; P=0.050) among the validity period of control measures, such as playing Amur tiger sounds for 1 min plus blank for 5 min, placing feces in rain proof devices, using of Amur tiger’s voice plus feces, and placing red, yellow and green solar blinkers. And there was a significant downward trend with the adult wolf sounds group (P=0.003). There was an upward trend with the Amur tiger sounds and wild boar scream group (P=0.001), but the short validity period is (13.67±2.62) d, which had no significance of popularization. Therefore, playing the sounds of Amur tiger, comprehensively applying the sounds and feces of the Amur tiger, solar blinkers in the control measures of wild boar damage has space popularization and time continuity.
