Beavers do not hibernate, and continue\nto build and maintain their dams and lodges all year long. Right now is a prime\ntime for beaver dam maintenance and production to commence, as beavers are\npreparing for inclement weather and the conditions it causes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although beaver dams provide our Eco-system with several advantages, there are also several disadvantages that can lead to serious inconveniences, costly repairs, and even safety risks, for both residential and commercial properties. This time of year, you should be on the lookout for beaver dam problems, namely flooding, if you live in a beaver-populated area of Indiana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beaver Dam Flooding<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Flooding is the most common consequence\ncaused by beaver dams. Flood water can\nbe treacherous and destructive in many ways; from residential to commercial\nreal estate, to land, plants, and timber. \nSeveral natural and man-made structures are frequently harmed by\nfloodwaters caused by local beaver dams. \nTimber, agriculture, homes, buildings, roadways, and more can all be\nnegatively affected by beaver obstructions. Continue reading to learn about\nsome common areas negatively impacted by beaver dams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Homes and Buildings<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Flood water can cause a substantial\namount of damage to commercial and residential real estate. If beaver colonies live nearby, homes and\nbuildings can all be at risk to structural damages from flooding. Beaver dams create floodwaters that can\noverflow into backyards, parking lots, and even basements. Sitting water can cause a long list of\nstructural harm; everything from dry wall deterioration to mold growth. Beavers are also known to gnaw on decks, patios,\nand other wooden structures around homes and buildings. This reduces building value, as well as, the\nphysical appearance and aesthetics of a property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Streets and Walkways<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Public roadways are another area\naffected by beaver dam construction and floodwaters. Roadside ditches and drainage channels are\nperfect environments for beavers and dam building. Not only can dams flood the roads\nand obstruct traffic, they can cause asphalt erosion too. All these\nimplications have caused auto accidents, closed roadways, culvert and bridge\nrepair, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Farms and Crops<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Agriculture can also be damaged by\nfloodwaters. Beaver dams can cause\ncreeks, brooks, rivers, and streams to overflow on large acreage of\ncropland. This makes it impossible for\nfarm equipment to access the land. Also,\nbeavers will eat crops, or cut them down for dam building material. All this can negatively affect the growth and\nhealth of plants and other crops on farmland. \nHomes near beaver populations have also been victim to gardens and\nplants being picked off by local beavers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trees and Ornamental Plants<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Trees play a very important role\nin nature; and play multiple roles in the lives of residential and commercial\nproperty owners. Beavers are also fans\nof trees and plant life. They gnaw them\nand use them to build their dams that flood our streets and lands. Eventually, these trees die; then they become\na safety hazard because they can weaken and fall over. For commercial reasons, this can be costly if\nbeavers are damaging high-grade hard woods. \nFor homeowners, dead trees look bad and can fall without notice. Beavers can also harm trees by flooding the\nland. If the water is not drained fast\nenough, it can kill the trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ornamental plant damages are\nanother trademark of nuisance beaver populations. Decorative shrubs, plants, bushes, and small\ntrees are common targets for beavers. \nThis can be a frustrating and expensive problem for commercial\nlandscapes, gardening enthusiasts, local parks, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beaver Control Regulations<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
In most states, a person is\nrequired to have a license or permit for beaver control; or to trap beavers. It is illegal in most jurisdictions to\ncapture, kill, harm, or hunt beavers. A\nlegal approach to getting rid of a beaver problem is to hire a professional\nanimal control company. A reputable animal removal business uses safe and\nhumane capture and release strategies to get rid of nuisance beavers. This is the best place to start when trying\nto eliminate a beaver issue. Skilled\ntrappers retain the proper equipment and training to quickly and effectively\nremove beavers from any property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
