Beaver on a lawn - Beaver Removal

WHY CONTROL BEAVERS?

Beavers, known for their industrious nature and engineering skills, can be a significant concern when they inhabit residential areas. Their activities, such as dam building and tree felling, can cause substantial problems for homeowners and the environment. Professional beaver removal is essential to protect your property and maintain ecological balance.

1. Preventing Flooding and Water Damage

Beaver dams can obstruct water flow, leading to flooding and waterlogging in your yard and surrounding areas. Effective beaver removal helps prevent potential water damage to your property and mitigates the risk of costly repairs.

2. Avoiding Structural Damage

Beavers chew through trees and vegetation, which can lead to the weakening of nearby structures, such as sheds, fences, and even the foundations of your home. Timely intervention is necessary to preserve the integrity of your property and prevent extensive damage.

3. Protecting Landscaping and Vegetation

Beavers’ natural behavior includes cutting down trees and shrubs, which can devastate your landscaping efforts. Removing these animals ensures that your garden and ornamental plants remain safe and thriving, maintaining the aesthetic and ecological value of your property.

HOW TO SPOT BEAVER ACTIVITY

Beavers are adept at staying concealed, but several telltale signs can indicate their presence. Recognizing these indicators is essential for effective beaver control. Keep an eye out for the following signs:

1. Distinctive Behaviors

Beavers are mostly nocturnal, so you might spot them at dawn or dusk. Look for beavers swimming in nearby water bodies or gnawing on trees near the water’s edge. These activities are clear indicators of beaver presence and activity.

2. Signs of Damage

Beavers are known for their dam-building and tree-felling habits. Check for freshly cut trees, often with pointed stumps, and dams across streams or culverts filled with branches. These structures can cause water flow disruptions and flooding if not addressed.

3. Tracks and Slides

Beaver tracks are unique, with webbed hind feet and smaller front feet. Additionally, you may notice slides—smooth paths leading from the water to areas with cut trees. These slides are created by beavers dragging branches and logs to their dams or lodges.

MAIN ISSUES

  • Damage of Property

  • Water Backup
