A dead beaver causes no damage. Bottom line, snake oil is just snake oil but a dead beaver solves the problem.
it is not a stupid question if you do not know the answer

I once had to remove a beaver that was taking down all the ornamental trees and shrubs in a commercially developed area. The beaver was living directly under a major intersection (stoplight) in Litchfield (IL) where Old Route 66 and Route 16 intersect. It used the interior of the culvert where all the pipes converge for the den site. The bottom of the concrete "room" was filled with branches and then had the slivers of bark lining the floor, just like in a regular beaver lodge. It would go out all the drain culverts, some round about 30-inch diameter, and some square about 4x4 feet. It took down all the trees in front of the Gardens Motel, then took all the trees at Taco Bell, and finally worked its way about 1/8 mile to Pizza Hut where it was working on their shrubs. It would cut these trees and shrubs only 15 feet from the entry doors and parking lots while traffic was active and customers were walking by, then drag them all the way to the intersection and into one of the culverts or drain pipes. It could care less about the stoplights (red, green or yellow!), car and truck lights, business signs, or anything else that people "think" would bother them or scare them away. Too many people assume that animals think like humans. Wrong.

Just heard on Klick & Klack (The Tappet Brothers) that our old panacea, mothballs, were recommended for mice in a car. In a car!

But Dave.... The car thing makes some sense. The owners are already in the vehicle which they can drive to the ER!
