Beaver Removal
Beaver Characteristics.
A beaver is attracted to running water. Their favorite food
is Aspen but they are happy to eat virtually any other species
of tree.
Beavers are rodents (like mice and rabbits) and their teeth
keep growing all of their lives. For a Beaver to stop chewing
and wearing down its teeth means certain death. Their teeth
will grow and the Beaver will be unable to chew or eat.
Beaver Removal
Reduced wild land availability and a market change in attitude
concerning fur-wearing products has resulted in increased
growth of the Beaver population. This has forced the beaver
to find refuge in any pond, lake or river that will house
them. Increasingly, beaver are finding their way to water
privately owned.
Beaver trapping, (or any other fur bearer),
is a viable solution, requires a valid New York fur
trapping license and a nuisance permit in the off season.
NOTE: Many state and local governments regulate trapping
of wild or nuisance animals. Call Westchester Wildlife for
all Beaver trapping.
