Our Wildlife Management Process for Removing Beavers
At Nest Pest Control, we understand the serious damage that beavers can cause to properties in the Washington, DC Metro Area. Whether they’re flooding landscapes, damaging trees, or blocking drainage systems, our team has a structured approach to handle the problem professionally and humanely.
Our beaver removal process starts with a detailed site inspection to locate lodges, dams, and signs of recent activity. From there, we evaluate the impact on your property and determine the best strategy for safe removal. We use humane trapping methods that follow all local wildlife guidelines, ensuring minimal stress to the animal. Once removed, our team implements preventative solutions—such as installing fencing, barriers, or flow devices—to discourage beavers from returning and causing more disruption.
In addition to removal, we offer wildlife damage repair to restore any areas affected by beaver activity. From tree protection to erosion control, we tailor each plan to meet the unique needs of your property. Our experienced technicians are trained in both prevention and restoration, so you get a complete solution—not just a quick fix.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does ecoPest Management safely and effectively handle beaver removal?
Nest Pest Control uses humane and environmentally responsible methods to remove beavers from properties. We begin with a thorough inspection to assess activity and identify lodges, dams, and food sources. From there, our team creates a customized removal plan using live traps or exclusion techniques, always following local and federal wildlife regulations. Our goal is to remove the beavers without harm and minimize disruption to your property and surrounding ecosystem.
What are the signs that I have a beaver problem on my property?
Common signs include gnawed or felled trees, blocked waterways, rising water levels, dam or lodge structures, and muddy trails along ponds or streams. If you notice any of these around your yard, especially near water features, it’s a strong indication of beaver activity. Nest Pest Control can confirm and address the issue before it leads to serious flooding or landscape damage.
Can the North American Beavers cause damage to trees, ponds, or waterways?
Yes, beavers are known for altering natural landscapes significantly. They chew through trees to build lodges and dams, which can lead to deforestation, flooding, and disrupted water flow. These changes can harm ecosystems, damage private property, and interfere with drainage systems. It’s important to address beaver problems quickly to avoid long-term environmental or structural issues.
Does Nest Pest Control offer solutions to prevent beavers from returning?
Absolutely. In addition to removal, we provide long-term prevention services tailored to your property. These include tree wrapping, installing fencing or flow devices in waterways, and removing dam structures where appropriate. Our goal is not only to remove the nuisance wildlife but to ensure they don’t come back and cause repeat damage.
How long does the beaver removal process typically take?
The timeline depends on the severity of the infestation and the location of the beavers. In most cases, the process can take several days to a couple of weeks. We monitor traps and activity closely and adjust our methods as needed. Our team keeps you updated every step of the way to ensure the removal is completed efficiently and with minimal disruption.
