Beaver Trapping and Removal

Beavers can cause extensive damage to landscapes, waterways, and infrastructure by building dams and felling trees. Our Beaver Trapping and Removal service is designed to humanely manage these animals while minimizing ecological disruption. By understanding beaver behavior, territorial instincts, and dam-building cycles, we apply targeted strategies to control and prevent future activity.

How We Handle Beaver Problems

Beavers are highly territorial and persistent, so effective removal requires more than just setting a trap. We start by evaluating their activity, habitat, and dam structure to develop a custom plan. Our goal is not only to trap and remove the beavers but also to mitigate damage and prevent recurrence.

• Site inspection and activity assessment
• Identification of dam locations, food sources, and burrow systems
• Humane trapping with state-approved equipment
• Dam breach or modification (if appropriate and permitted)
• Tree and property protection recommendations
• Coordination with environmental or local authorities when required
• Ongoing monitoring for signs of reoccupation

Frequently Asked Questions About Beaver Removal

Beaver problems often escalate quickly, from minor flooding to major land and water damage. These FAQs offer clarity on our approach and what to expect during the removal process.

Is it legal to trap and remove beavers?
Yes, but in most areas, beaver trapping is regulated and may require permits. We handle all legal compliance and follow state and federal guidelines.

Will removing the beavers stop the flooding?
Removing beavers is often necessary to stop the flooding, but dam removal or water flow management may also be needed. We assess each situation to recommend the best approach.

Can you prevent beavers from returning?
While beavers are persistent, we provide solutions such as protective tree wrapping, flow devices in culverts, and habitat modification to discourage future activity.
