Trapping The Mountain Beaver : Lethal Control
Because mountain beavers are territorial, removing them from an area may appear to solve the problem. However, other mountain beavers will eventually enter the area if attractive habitat is available.
Long-term control is possible by first reducing or eliminating the mountain beaver population by trapping, and then continuing with a maintenance-trapping program to remove invading animals as they become evident.
Mountain beavers can be trapped anytime, but for best results and for humane reasons it is best to concentrate the effort in late winter, before they give birth.
A wildlife damage control company can be hired to do the trapping, or you can do it yourself . Never attempt to handle trapped or wild mountain beavers. They are capable of producing a very bad bite and have very sharp claws. Mountain beavers are a menace to Forestry and new tree seedlings.
Mountain Beavers will burrow and dig holes .
Mountain beaver trappers set #110 Conibear traps throughout the active burrows and runways, usually setting 3-4 traps per den.
This will reduce the mountain beaver population if done correctly.
Mountain beaver are found in Northern California, Oregon Washington and British Columbia.
