WHY CONTROL BEAVERS?

If you’ve noticed tree stumps, backed-up water, or gnawed wood on your property, beavers may already be causing damage. Their dam-building floods yards, weakens structures, and destroys landscaping—leading to costly repairs if left unchecked.

Beavers are tough to remove without expert intervention. That’s why Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management provides professional Beaver Removal Services in Iowa City, IA—to protect your home and property from worsening damage.

1. Beavers Can Quickly Worsen Flooding Issues

Their dams block natural water flow, causing creeks and ponds to overflow. Left unchecked, this can flood yards, driveways, and outbuildings, leading to expensive repairs.

2. Beavers Chew Through Trees & Structures

Beavers strip bark, topple trees, and weaken shorelines, damaging fencing, docks, and even foundations. Early removal prevents costly property destruction.

3. Expert Beaver Removal Prevents Recurring Damage

Simply removing a dam won’t stop beavers from returning. Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management ensures complete beaver control, protecting your land long-term.

BEAVER REMOVAL SERVICES

Beaver activity won’t stop on its own—ignoring the problem can lead to more flooding, tree loss, and property damage. Professional intervention is the only way to remove beavers safely and prevent them from returning.

At Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management, we provide expert beaver control solutions designed to eliminate existing problems and protect your property long-term.

HOW TO SPOT BEAVER ACTIVITY

Beavers are skilled at staying hidden, but several signs can reveal their presence. Recognizing these indicators is crucial for effective beaver management. Look out for the following signs:

1. Distinctive Behaviors

Beavers are primarily nocturnal, often seen at dawn or dusk. Watch for beavers swimming in nearby waters or chewing on trees close to the shoreline. These behaviors clearly indicate beaver activity.

2. Signs of Damage

Beavers are notorious for building dams and felling trees. Look for freshly gnawed trees, usually with pointed stumps, and dams across streams or culverts. These structures can disrupt water flow and cause flooding if not managed.

3. Tracks and Slides

Beaver tracks are distinctive, featuring webbed hind feet and smaller front paws. You might also notice smooth paths, known as slides, leading from water to areas with cut trees. Beavers create these slides by dragging branches and logs to their dams or lodges.

MAIN ISSUES

  • Damage of Property

  • Water Backup

  • Tree Damage

  • Man-Made Dam Failure

Knowledgeable, careful, and insightful- I had the opportunity to meet with Nicole Spaulding from Bobcat Wildlife and Pest Management to learn more of what she does and to ask questions about their industry, fearing it affected my own (outdoor aquatic stock growth).

She took the time to share with me the ins-and-outs of her industry, genuinely caring for my concerns, resolving them completely in the end.
