Beaver standing in a lawn - Beaver Removal

WHY CONTROL BEAVERS?

Beavers are renowned for their hardworking nature and impressive construction abilities, but their presence in residential areas can pose significant challenges. Their activities, such as building dams and cutting down trees, can lead to various problems for homeowners and the surrounding environment. Professional beaver removal is crucial to safeguard your property and maintain ecological harmony.

1. Preventing Flooding and Water Damage

When beavers build dams, they can obstruct water flow, leading to flooding and saturated ground. Prompt beaver removal helps avert water damage to your property and minimizes the risk of expensive repairs.

2. Avoiding Structural Damage

Beavers chew on trees and vegetation, which can weaken nearby structures, including sheds, fences, and even your home’s foundation. Timely removal is crucial to maintain your property’s structural integrity.

3. Protecting Landscaping and Vegetation

Beavers cut down trees and shrubs, which can harm your landscaping. Removing them ensures your garden and ornamental plants stay intact, preserving the aesthetic and ecological value of your property.

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.
