Nuisance Beaver Problems
Beavers pose a significant threat to agricultural lands, residential properties, and forests. The damage they cause happens fast and can be incredibly costly:
Tree Destruction- Their constant chewing ruins mature trees, creating major headaches for homeowners and forestry managers alike.
Severe Property Flooding- Beaver dams are the primary danger. A newly built dam can quickly flood surrounding yards, drown crops, and even cause catastrophic basement flooding.
Beaver Problem Solvers
If you are dealing with beaver-related damage, fast action is required. Our team of professional beaver trappers is equipped to handle the entire process effectively:
Step 1: Safe Removal. We use proven trapping and relocation techniques to clear the nuisance beavers from your land.
Step 2: Dam Dismantling. Once the beavers are gone, we completely tear down their dams to halt the flooding and prevent new beavers from moving in.
How to Get Rid of Beavers
Prevention First
Stop the problem before it starts! Wrap vulnerable tree bases with heavy-duty wire mesh. You can also use drainage pipes to lower water levels, making the habitat unlivable for them.
Professional Removal
If you have an active infestation, you need expert help. Standard hardware store traps simply won't work. Our team handles the entire process:
Expert Trapping- We safely deploy highly effective lethal traps (which require specialized training) or expertly camouflaged live traps using beaver-specific lures.
Dam Destruction- Once the beavers are cleared, we completely destroy their dams and lodgesโusing heavy machinery or controlled explosivesโensuring new beavers don't move in.
Effective Beaver Trapping & Removal
Trapping is the most effective method for eliminating beavers from your property. Our pricing structure is straightforward and aligns with our rates for raccoons, groundhogs, and skunks. We offer two pricing options to fit your needs:
Option 1: Flat-Rate Fee (Our Preferred Approach)
This is our most popular option because you know exactly what the total price will be right from the initial service call.
-
Average Cost: Approximately $995 (varies depending on your specific situation).
-
Whatโs Included: A complete property survey, inspection, and the strategic setup and placement of traps.
-
30-Day Guarantee: We will trap and remove problem beavers for 30 days at no extra cost. If the problem is resolved early, we will remove our traps. If activity resumes before the 30 days are up, we will return to reset the traps for free.
-
Optional Add-ons: Professional clean-out of the beaver lodge or dam is available for an additional charge.
Option 2: Setup Fee + Per-Animal Cost
This is a more traditional pricing model where the total cost depends on the exact number of beavers removed from your property.
-
Initial Setup Fee: $250 โ $300
-
Per-Animal Removal Fee: $150 โ $200 per trapped beaver.
-
Variable Costs: Additional trip charges may apply depending on your property's location and the complexity of the trap placement.
Our Service Policy
At Michigan Wildlife Solutions, our priority is providing humane, effective, and timely service. To do this, we must sometimes make tough choices about the jobs we accept.
- High-Demand Seasons- During our busiest times, such as peak exclusion seasons, we may not be able to take on new animal trapping jobs to ensure we can properly serve our current clients.
- Availability and Staffing- Wildlife issues don't follow a 9-to-5 schedule. Effective, humane removal requires a full-time commitment, which is why we're dedicated to being available seven days a week. Like many businesses, our ability to respond quickly can be impacted by staffing shortages.
- Legal Compliance- We strictly follow all laws and regulations set by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
Feel free to reach out to us any day of the week to check on our availability in your area.
