Managing Beaver Issues: Understanding the Challenge
Beavers can become a significant concern for homeowners and commercial property owners due to their ability to alter natural landscapes. By cutting down nearby trees and building dams in streams or creeks, they can cause flooding and other environmental changes that disrupt properties. While beavers are not inherently aggressive, their activities can lead to extensive damage, leaving property owners eager for a resolution.
Beavers are naturally drawn to areas with abundant water, such as lakes, ponds, or wooded regions. As human development continues to encroach on their habitats and beaver populations grow, conflicts between humans and these industrious animals are on the rise.
Effective Beaver Removal: What You Need to Know
Removing beavers is not as simple as trapping and relocating them. Connecticut regulates beaver trapping, with the standard season running from December 1 to
March 31. Outside this timeframe, removal requires special permits issued by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP).
Out-of-Season Permits
From April 1 to November 30, property owners or municipalities facing beaver-related damage may apply for a special permit to trap beavers. Permits are granted when beaver activity threatens public health or safety, damages agricultural crops or livestock, or causes severe property damage.
- Contact the DEEP Wildlife Division at 860-424-3011 for application details and a list of licensed trappers.
Why Work with Professionals?
All trapping must adhere to Connecticut’s regulations, and only licensed professionals are authorized to perform these services. It’s important to note that the state prohibits relocating beavers, meaning lethal trapping is often required.
