How to Work with the Beavers
Need Supplies?
While there are specific ways to neutralize Beavers without harming them, we need to be proactive. Reach out to us at info@casslakesidevillage.com; we do have volunteers and a small budget to help. Trees down in the canal let us know.
Who We Are
Here are 5 facts about beavers:
- Beavers are the largest rodent in North America.
- Beavers have distinctive orange-colored teeth.
- Beavers build dams and lodges to modify their environment.
- Beavers are excellent swimmers and can hold their breath for up to 15 minutes.
- Beavers are know for slapping their tails in the water.
How to Manage the Beavers
- Exclusion:
- Fencing: Constructing sturdy wire mesh or electric fences around trees, structures, or areas can prevent beavers from accessing them.
- Barriers: Installing barriers around culverts, drains, and other sensitive structures can help prevent beavers from accessing or damming them.
- Modification:
- Dam Removal: Removing or modifying beaver dams, especially when causing flooding or other problems, can help manage water levels.
- Flow Control Devices: These devices can help manage water levels in beaver ponds while allowing beavers to remain in the area.
- Deterrents and Repellents:
- Paint and Sand: Painting tree trunks or structures with a mixture of paint and sand can deter beavers from chewing due to the gritty texture.
- Other Deterrents: Various repellents, including scents and sounds, can also be used to discourage beavers from entering or staying in certain areas.
- Trapping and Removal:
- Trapping: When done legally and responsibly, trapping can be an effective way to remove beavers from problem areas.
- Professional Help: Consulting a licensed wildlife control professional for trapping and removal services ensures the process is handled safely and effectively.
