A beaver setting up shop on a lake, pond, or river passing through your property can be a monumental hassle. Beavers are nature's engineers, but their activities can cause significant flooding and property damage. If you have noticed signs of beaver activity, our wildlife removal professionals are here to help you evict the beavers, clean up the mess, and repair the damage.

Signs of a Beaver Problem

A couple of fallen trees on your property are not always a reason to worry. However, you should look out for these clear signs of a beaver infestation:

Gnawed Trees: Small branches cut at a sharp angle or debarked wood near the water.

Felled Trees: Whole trees taken down, often with cone-shaped stumps left behind.

Beaver Dams: Accumulations of sticks, mud, and logs blocking water flow.

Mud Trails: Visible gaps and slides in the bank where beavers travel between the water and the woods.

The Damage Beavers Can Cause

Flooding and Water Damage

Beaver dams raise water levels, which can flood agricultural lands, parks, and forests, and even block roadways. This flooding can destroy landscaping and threaten the foundations of nearby structures.

Tree Destruction

Because beavers gain both nutrition and shelter from the trees they gnaw, and because they must constantly chew to wear down their teeth, they can quickly decimate the trees on your property. They will go as far as 100 feet from the water to get quality wood, eventually taking down large, mature trees.

Professional Beaver Trapping and Removal

Beaver control and removal should only be attempted by people who understand this animal and the laws concerning wildlife trapping.

Humane Trapping

Trapping a beaver humanely is important to prevent injury to the animal. Getting rid of a beaver should be carried out with proper planning and procedures.

Safe Dam Removal

Capturing a beaver and removing a dam are potentially dangerous situations that may involve handling specialized or heavy equipment in the water. Untrained persons should not attempt to remove a beaver or breach a dam.

Cleanup and Prevention

Once our wildlife technicians remove the beavers, you need to ensure that new beavers are not tempted to use the existing infrastructure. The dams and lodges must be completely destroyed by professionals. We also provide recommendations on tree protection and habitat modification to deter future beaver activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our wildlife trapping and removal services

Beavers are generally not aggressive toward humans, but they are wild animals with large, sharp teeth. They can become defensive if they feel threatened or cornered.

Breaking a dam without removing the beavers is usually ineffective, as they will quickly rebuild it, often overnight. It can also be dangerous due to the sudden release of water.

Beavers can cause significant damage through flooding from dams, which can impact agricultural lands, roads, and foundations. They also fell trees, causing property damage and the loss of vegetation.

We use specialized, humane trapping methods to capture beavers safely. Once captured, they are relocated in accordance with state laws and regulations.

After removal, we recommend destroying dams and lodges and implementing tree protection measures. We also provide advice on modifying the habitat to make it less attractive to beavers.
