Wild boar have been seen in the areas of Strandskogen, Ulvhäll and Finninge, among other places.

At home with the Ax family, they have visited twice.

Fredrik Ax thinks that it is sad with the destruction and that the children no longer dare to camp out on the lawn as they usually do in the summer.

- When they were small, they were worried that there were lions in the forest and now they are big enough to understand that they do not exist - but on the other hand, they have learned that there are wild boars in the garden, he says.

"Not dangerous"

According to the municipality, the inhabitants do not have to be afraid of the wild boars.

- I want to send that they are not dangerous.

They are very shy and nocturnal, says protection hunting coordinator Kristina Svinhufvud.

Kristina Svinhufvud, protection hunting coordinator in Strängnäs municipality, believes that wild boar are observed to a greater extent now during the summer months: - You yourself are active later in the day then.

Something Fredrik Ax is hesitant about.

- I went out with pot lids and hit them hard against each other to try to scare away the wild boars - and it took a good while before they chose to leave here.

He now wants the municipality to take measures to remove the wild boar from the tar town.

According to the municipality, efforts are already being made such as shooting wild boars outside densely populated areas to reduce the population, and feeding in certain places to attract them from the city.
