The Unique Capability of Beavers
When dealing with beavers, you should know and understand that these creatures are notorious in terms of being clever. They have the ability to climb on virtually anything – steps, ladders, and drainage components – in order to access plants, trees, and other items – required for the construction of their dams and other constructions.
Beavers may climb upon sticks, bricks, and various other types of debris and will even use their sharp teeth to aid in lifting. As a result, many homeowners find themselves experiencing a massive amount of damage each year.
The Growing Population
Beavers were once considered a very valuable resource, due to their fur. However, trapping does not occur as frequently. As a result, the population of beavers is growing at an immense rate. Now, beavers have the ability to get up as large as 70 pounds.
They consume corn and soybean crops, a few water-based creatures, and the layer of cambium that is situated just below the bark that is on woody-based plants. Increasing populations means that the beavers of today are able to create massive amounts of damage.
Common Types of Beaver Damage
Beavers are most widely known for their ability to build dams. In taking part in this activity, they may destroy culverts that aid in drainage, cause the collapse of driveways and other outdoor areas, cause flooding in yards and even entire neighborhoods, result in falling trees, and block waterways, such as streams that help in spawning fish and providing water to homes.
Many homeowners have even experienced the unfortunate issue of having beavers destroy their actual homes, sheds, barns, and other components of their property, such as gutters.
