Problems with Beavers and Getting Rid of Them

Beaver is the largest rodent found in North America. Adults can weigh up to 65pounds and can measure from 24 to 36 inches without the tail.

The web hind feet, paddle shaped tail, and the waterproof fur make beavers well-

adapted to live in an aquatic environment.

Beavers eat only different parts of trees like barks, leaves and twigs of trees. Usually, they

prefer trees like sweetgum, willow and cottonwood. If these trees are unavailable, they

may eat parts pf any trees.

Beavers are usually nocturnal, feeding and working during the night.

Most of the landowners do not like beavers as they damage the tress to large extent. Another serious matter with the beavers is that they prefer to build dams. Dams constructed by them often result in flooded forest, homes, lands, or roads. Such floods may damage crops or trees.

Beaver can carry rabies. It also carries parasites like nematodes, termatodes, and coccidians. These

parasites can cause several diseases. It can contaminate the water of the lake or your pool with

the droppings and urines causing diseases and illness.

When confronted with the beaver problem, many people think that destroying the dam will cause the beavers to leave. However, this tactic seldom works. A small colony of beaver can completely rebuild the destroyed dam in a very short time span.

When beavers are causing damages, trapping can be an effective method to control that.

However, trapping beaver is not that simple.

If you are not sure about the beaver trapping process, it is best to take help of the experts.
