That is one recommendation for homeowners with a porky problem. They don't get around too much. The is a nature trail with markers for the points of interest that's adjacent to a pasture where there is a salt block. Too far to walk so they eat the markers. I'd worked on the trail in the '80s and made markers by slicing fence posts at a diagonal and routing the numbers on the face. Being untreated wood they eventually rotted and were replaced with the plywood markers. After the porkies chewed them off some were replaced by what looks like a plastic composite. It will be interesting to see if they last.
