Louisville Beaver Removal
Beaver Removal Services
Beavers are North America's largest rodent and are second only to people in their ability to change landscapes and engineer large structures. Beavers rarely attack humans or directly cause damage to buildings. The main problems caused by beavers revolve around the felling of trees and shrubbery. Farmers and the commercial trucking industry lose millions of dollars in damage from Beaver.

Beavers are well established along Floyds Fork, Harrods Creek, Beargrass Creek, Pond Creek and the retention ponds of newer developments across Louisville and Southern Indiana. Property owners typically discover the problem one of two ways: expensive landscape trees felled overnight, or rising water from a dam that's blocking a culvert or drainage channel. Dammed culverts are a serious flooding risk for HOAs and commercial properties, and Kentucky regulates beaver removal as a furbearer species. Our licensed team removes the beavers, clears the blockage and can install exclusion measures to protect culverts and valuable trees.
Beaver Removal Questions, Answered
A beaver dam is flooding my property - can I just tear it out?
You can, but the beavers will usually rebuild it within days - they're triggered by the sound of running water. The lasting solution pairs licensed trapping of the resident colony with either dam removal or a pond-leveler pipe that quietly controls the water height. Beavers are a regulated furbearer in Kentucky, so removal must follow state trapping rules - which our licensed operators do.
How do I protect my trees from beavers?
Beavers can fell a mature tree overnight, and they prefer the ornamental and fruit trees closest to the water. Wrapping trunks with heavy galvanized wire mesh to about three feet high stops them cold. We install tree guards as part of beaver jobs so you don't lose more landscaping while trapping runs its course.

How does your beaver removal process work?
We follow a three-step process: first we humanely remove the animals using traps that are tech-monitored and physically checked every three hours, then we repair the damage they caused, and finally we permanently close every entry point so they can't get back in.
Is your beaver removal humane?
Yes. We use humane removal methods every time, and every trap is paired with cellular monitoring technology and physically checked every three hours so no animal is left waiting.
Will the animals come back after beaver removal?
No - after removal we permanently seal every entry point and potential entry point, and that exclusion work is backed in writing by our 10 year animal-free guarantee. If an animal re-enters through an entry point we closed within 10 years, we make it right.
