In areas like the southeastern United States, how are feral swine resulting from S. scrofa lineage managed?

As highly damaging invasive species requiring population reduction

While *Sus scrofa* is designated as Least Concern globally, its status changes drastically when it becomes non-native and introduced, such as in the southeastern United States, Hawaii, and parts of the Caribbean. In these ecosystems, feral swine descended from introduced *S. scrofa* are classified as highly damaging invasive species due to the documented destruction they inflict on native flora, native fauna, and agricultural operations. This classification as an introduced, invasive vertebrate triggers specific, aggressive management strategies aimed primarily at population control and reduction. These control efforts can range from regulated hunting, sometimes involving specialized methods like 'espera' hunting conducted at night, to organized trapping and complete eradication initiatives designed to mitigate ecological threat.
