Beaver in a lawn - Beaver Removal

Why Control Beavers?

Beavers are remarkable creatures, admired for their diligent work ethic and engineering prowess. However, when they settle in residential areas, their natural activities can become problematic. Effective beaver removal is crucial for safeguarding your property and preserving the environment.

1. Prevent Flooding and Water Damage

Beaver dams can obstruct water flow, causing flooding and water damage. Effective beaver removal prevents costly repairs by maintaining proper water drainage.

2. Avoid Structural Damage

Beavers chew through trees and vegetation, weakening nearby structures. Timely removal protects sheds, fences, and your home’s foundation from damage.

3. Protect Landscaping and Vegetation

Beavers cut down trees and shrubs, devastating your landscaping. Removing them ensures your garden and plants remain safe, preserving the aesthetic value of your property.

At Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management, we focus on effectively removing beavers to protect your property and maintain a balanced environment. Our beaver pest control methods are designed to address all aspects of beaver intrusions:

  • Humane Beaver Control Methods: We use humane techniques to manage beaver populations, ensuring ethical treatment of the animals while effectively resolving your issues. Our approach prioritizes both the well-being of the beavers and the satisfaction of our clients.

  • Comprehensive Site Inspections: Our team conducts thorough site inspections to identify signs of beaver activity, such as gnawed trees, trails from water to felled trees, and dams in streams. These detailed assessments allow us to accurately gauge the extent of the problem.

  • Effective Preventative Measures: Once we resolve the immediate beaver issue, we take steps to prevent future activity. This involves setting up protective wire barriers around susceptible trees, ensuring they stand at least three feet high and maintain a one-foot gap around the trunks to prevent beaver gnawing.

How to Spot Beaver Activity

Detecting beaver activity early can help prevent significant damage to your property. Here are key indicators to watch for:

1. Gnawed Trees and Shrubs

Look for trees and shrubs with gnawed bark or completely felled trees near water sources, as beavers use these for building dams and lodges.

2. Dams and Lodges

Check for dam constructions across streams or rivers and lodges made of sticks and mud. These structures are often found in water bodies and can significantly alter the landscape.

3. Muddy Trails

Observe for muddy trails leading from water sources to feeding areas or tree stumps. Beavers create these paths as they transport materials to and from their construction sites.

MAIN ISSUES

  • Damage of Property

  • Water Backup

  • Tree Damage

  • Man-Made Dam Failure

Highly recommend this group!!! Within 24 hours of my “something stinks” panic call, one of the techs, Ronnie, was at our place taking care of the animals that found their final resting place in our vents… and patched it up so we wouldn’t have this happen again. On-time, efficient, and very knowledgeable!!

I just wanted to email and let someone know how nice of a job Jared does when he comes out to treat the house. He always asks how things are and if I have any concerns. He checks things thoroughly each visit and addresses issues that need taken care of. He is very pleasant and professional.
