Facing challenges from beavers in your yard? You're not alone. Every year, scores of residents experience unwelcome encounters with these industrious creatures. It's essential to understand the necessity of appropriate and effective control measures to safeguard our living spaces from these semi-aquatic rodents.
The state of Illinois is home to the North American Beaver, a species famed for its extraordinary dam-building skills. As fascinating as these creatures may be, their behavior can wreak havoc on our landscapes, homes, and infrastructure, creating an urgent need for proficient control services.
These intriguing animals are the second-largest rodents globally and can measure up to four feet long, including their iconic flat tail. Beavers are mostly nocturnal, so you may not often spot them in daylight hours. However, the evidence of their nightly activities is hard to miss.
Many people underestimate their damage potential. Beavers are natural engineers, known for their instinctive ability to transform their environment to suit their needs. This behavior can cause severe and costly problems for homeowners and municipalities.
While dam building is beneficial for their survival, creating habitats for them and other wildlife, it is not without consequences. Dams, when constructed in the wrong place, can result in flooding, damage to timber resources, and potential structural damages to nearby homes or infrastructures due to water diversion.
In the spirit of keeping it factual, consider this: the U.S.D.A. estimates that beaver activity results in millions of dollars of damage nationwide each year. That's a significant impact on individual homeowners and communities alike.
Moreover, the risk is not just physical but also biological. Beavers are carriers of several diseases and parasites, like Giardia lamblia, responsible for a diarrheal disease known as "Beaver Fever". If the rodents infesting your property are carriers, they could potentially contaminate your water source.
The beaver's role in the ecosystem is significant. Their dam-building activities create wetlands, which provide habitats for a diverse array of plants and other wildlife. However, when their activities clash with human habitation, it's essential to have effective control measures in place.
Removing them from your property is not a task to be undertaken lightly or without proper knowledge. Doing so without proper care can lead to unnecessary suffering for the animals and a continuation of the problem if not all of them are effectively relocated. They are tenacious creatures and possess an impressive homing instinct. Beavers removed from their habitat without expert knowledge can travel large distances to return to their original location.
Our team takes these factors into account, using expert knowledge and methods to ensure their complete and humane removal from your property. Our team then follows up with implementing preventive measures to deter future activity in your area.
