A passel of feral hogs has been terrorizing the city of Irving, Texas, frustrating residents as their properties are destroyed by the invasive animals.

As many as 10 hogs have been tearing up yards and rooting through trash left for garbage collectors, according to WFAA.

Locals have become frustrated after they repair their yards dug up by the hogs, just for the animals to return to wreak havoc again.

“A couple of weeks back, I started seeing some diggings on the ground,” homeowner Eric Mendez told WFAA, noting that he set up a camera on a tree to capture the culprit.

“I was thinking, can I do anything here?” he said.

The hogs are known to attack pets and humans if they feel threatened. They also reproduce at a rapid rate, as a single sow can birth up to two litters of six to eight piglets each year.

“I did not expect something this big to start creeping from the creek,” Mendez said.

“It’s a hassle,” he added.
