    Fencing or trapping may be the most effective way to consider in your situation. If it is not possible to fence your corn field, then trapping may be the best way. But you will need a different kind of trap than the pit method you tried. Use a baited wire trap. Bait the trap with the corn it likes, or salted peanut butter or salted apple or other fruit. When you have the porcupine in a closed wire trap, then relocate and release it at least 40 kilometers away so it won't return.

    You may be able to find someone to trap and remove the animals for you. Porcupine is used for the meat as well as the quills for various purposes.
