A lot of released hogs pick up a lot of ticks and fleas suddenly and this can lead to a quick downward spiral, so it’s always a good idea to release where they can be monitored.
It is not possible and potentially harmful to other wildlife to try to eradicate ticks in an area as they are carried on other animals as well as hogs
Regular proper cleaning of hog houses can help kill any eggs that are dropped
