How do you control Beavers?
How To Get Rid of Beavers Yourself
- 1 - Use a live trap. Beavers are large, so only a couple of traps, like the clamshell trap, will work.
- 2 - Set a lethal trap. Such as a large connibear style body grip trap. These are not for amateurs!
- 3 - Install a drain pipe at the dam. This will make the dam fail, and discourage the beaver from using the area.
