how to get rid of a beaver
beavers are the largest rodents found in
the United States as stated by United
wildlife control see reference when
adults are generally 35 to 60 pounds and
up to 35 inches long the tails can grow
to lengths of 20 inches as with other
rodents beavers feel the need to gnaw
often to wear down their teeth the
knowing can wreak havoc on trees in your
landscape the dams they build may
contaminate water supplies or cause
bridges and roads to wash out see
reference one things you'll need beaver
trap
gun chicken wire optional trapping
permit optional look for dams consisting
of mounds of mud and piles of wood and
other debris this indicates the presence
of beavers this is most often in or near
bodies of water see reference 1 also
note any nod rings around the trunks of
trees on your property this exposes the
trees to risk of disease and death
purchase a beaver trap from an animal
control agency sporting goods or
hardware or home supply store read the
tips carefully that come with the trap
if the trap is not set or baited
properly the beaver may trip it and then
carefully avoid any further traps you
set see reference 1 once you trap the
beaver transport it to an area at least
10 miles away never release it into the
same body of water where you captured it

transport the rodent yourself call a
licensed exterminator approved poisons

therefore hiring a licensed professional
is the only way to use this method
