Humane Beaver Trapping & Dam Removal Services

Beaver Trapping

Most of our clients, that reach out for our beaver trapping services, have attempted to resolve their problem by destroying the beaver dams.  Beavers are highly industrious, therefore, removing dams and lodges has little to no impact on deterring them.  Simply said, it is mere exercise and entertainment for the pesky critters.

MAKE SURE WHICHEVER BEAVER TRAPPER YOU HIRE, THAT THEY CHECK THEIR TRAPS EVERY SINGLE DAY. 1) it is the law and, 2) if not it will educate the beavers to avoid the traps. 

It takes a different set of skills to successfully trap aquatic species and predator species.  We have only one trapper that specializes in beaver trapping.  Not that the others are not capable, we just like having techs that specialize.


What to Expect with Professional Beaver Trapping

There are a lot of factors that come into consideration for the price of our beaver trapping services.  Where are the beavers located? How big of a pond, lake or stream are we dealing with?  What is the distance from where the trapper would park to the trapping location? Do you know that it is a beaver and not a muskrat, raccoon or something else?  Have you actually seen it? Is the dam or lodge located on your property? This helps us to get a better grasp as to what we are dealing with. Has anyone tried to trap the beavers in the past and failed?


BEAVER INSPECTIONS

Typically, we can give a pretty good price range by after asking questions over the phone.   When we are hired to trap, the Trapper scouts the property setting traps along the way. By the time he finishes, we will know the exact price based upon time and effort.

However, if you need a firm price, we can come out and perform an inspection.  There are fees associated with the time involved for this service, which includes locating where the activity is, possible dams & lodges. We can estimate the size of the colony and the effort that has to go into trapping. That helps us figure out a fair price for the trapping, lodge and dam destruction.

Speaking of dams… the last thing you want to do is destroy the dams before the beavers have been removed.

BUT we encourage you to paint a picture of what you are dealing with so we can give you a rough estimate over the phone.

BEAVER DAM REMOVAL SERVICES

Oftentimes beavers build more than one dam, therefore, it may not be just one dam that is causing the water level to be higher.  We will provide you with a quote to restore the natural water flow to the stream or river.  We spread the debris from the dam along the water to provide a natural shelter for aquatic animals and fish.

Frequently Asked Beaver Trapping Questions

((These are both frequently asked questions and common search engine queries))


Q: How to get rid of beavers?

A: Once beavers relocate to your property the common misconception is that if you destroy their dam that they will go away. You are just exercising the beaver and keeping them active. It seldom if ever causes them to leave. Trapping is the best solution.

Q: Best way to get rid of beavers?

A: Definitely the best means to eliminate beavers legally from a property is to trap the beavers. It is quick and humane.

Q: Beaver removal cost?

A: It depends on too many factors to provide an estimate over the phone, sight unseen. The price depends on how big the property is, how many projected beavers there are, how many sets we are able to get in, distance from the truck, etc.

Q: How to deter beavers?

A: You can wrap trees in wire mesh to prevent them from getting access. If you take their food source away eventually they will leave. Use rock along the bank of the pond to prevent them from burrowing. In retention ponds with an overflow drain system or culvert that beaver keeps clogging, you can install a Clemson Leveler or even a corrugated tube to still allow water flow.

Q: Best way to remove a beaver dam?

A: Once the beaver are gone or removed you can hire us to remove the dam. We will restore the natural water flow.

Q: How to prevent beaver infestation?

A: As mentioned above you can take habitat modification measures to make it a less desirable place for beavers: rock on banks, wrap trees, Clemson leveler installed.

Q: What cities do we trap beavers in?

A: Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Milton, Crabapple, Cumming, Roswell, Gainesville, Suwanee, Ball ground, Big Canoe, Ellijay, Dawsonville, Dahlonega, Blue Ridge.

Q: When are beavers active?

A: Year-round. During the summer they are less noticeable because they are eating more water vegetation instead of risking coming out of the water. Then in the late fall & winter they turn to trees and shrubs because the aquatic plants have died back. This is when they are noticed for the damage they are doing. In Spring there is a dispersal period where the babies are old enough to leave and they get kicked out.
