Beaver and Muskrat Control

Beavers fell trees and dam creeks, and muskrats burrow into pond banks and dams. Flooding, lost trees and weakened banks follow. We assess the water, remove the animals and protect the trees and the shoreline.

Questions

Common questions

How can I tell beaver from muskrat damage?

Beavers cut trees and build dams. Muskrats burrow into banks and build small lodges. Both can affect ponds, and we confirm which animal you have.

Can you protect a tree instead of removing the animal?

Often yes. Wire wraps and barriers can protect a valuable tree, and we explain the options for the property.
