Hogs frequently scratch a lot when they first get up. Lying on the ground they tend to pick up lots of insects etc. They will eventually scratch less as the night goes on.
In the event that they have too many ticks etc and are no longer scratching them off then that’s when they have a problem
Do not routinely treat any wild animal for anything
You can clean out the house early spring once the hogs first come out of hibernation, and again late autumn before hibernation – always an idea to check if anyone is in residence before though – a stick across the doorway will tell you – if it’s pushed out then something came out and if it’s pushed in then something went in
