I have a customer who lives along a river, and has landscaped the river banks. Beavers are wearing out his roses. I am going to trap what I can, but will encourage him to put cages around his rose bushes. Anyone else tried this? Any suggestions? I know the beavers are going to be an ongoing problem for him, because of his location. Thanks. -John

This is one of the services we have offered for the 12 years. It works very well. Can't go cheap on the wire fencing.
A fence around the rose bed can work. Yes this will be an on going problem. You could suggest population control in season as an added part of this plan.
We wire wrap trees for town and state parks and lake associations. Always had very good success with this.
Sounds like you have the right idea. Trap and then prevent future problems.
Good luck

We need special permits to track beaver out of regular season. Check to see if you do also if you go that route.

Are you still after those beaver John? Once stuff starts to green up they will usually quit cutting until next fall when the new population shows it's self. Wire will work but can be obnoxious to the owners.
You may have a repeat client, sign them up for yearly service.


Never argue with a fool - they will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
