Beaver Trapping & Control FAQ

How do I know if I have a beaver problem on my property?

Signs of a beaver problem include flooded areas from dams, trees stripped of bark, chewed-down trees, blocked culverts, and visible beaver lodges made from mud, branches, and sticks along water banks.

Why are beavers a nuisance in Atlanta and surrounding areas?

Beavers cause extensive damage by building dams that flood properties, destroy landscaping, weaken roadways and drainage systems, and damage trees. In metro Atlanta, with few natural predators, beaver populations grow quickly and cause significant property damage.

Can I remove beavers myself?

Attempting to trap or remove beavers without professional training is dangerous and often ineffective. Inexperienced trapping can create “trap-educated beavers” that are even harder to capture. For safe and effective results, always hire a licensed nuisance wildlife control expert like Atlanta Wildlife Solutions, LLC.

What methods are used to control or remove beavers?

We use a combination of strategies depending on the situation, including:

• Habitat modification (tree wrapping and fencing)
• Dam and lodge removal
• Professional live trapping and lethal trapping when necessary
  All methods comply with Georgia wildlife regulations and are designed for effectiveness and humane control.

Is beaver exclusion (keeping beavers out) possible?

Total beaver exclusion is often impractical due to the cost and difficulty of fencing off large water sources. However, protecting individual trees and using strategic habitat changes can help minimize beaver activity on your property.

How long does it take to remove beavers?

Each situation is unique. Some beaver removals can be completed within a few days, while others — especially larger colonies — may take several weeks of trapping and habitat management. During our inspection, we will give you an estimate based on the extent of the infestation.
