Subject: RE: BS: Advice on Rodent control
You may be able to hire an outside trapper to come in and do the job for you. They will kill the animals for their pelts. This is a point where you have to make a choice--beavers are hard-headed about continuing to build. I have seen huge trees in forests in Washington State that they tried to gnaw through (trees upwards of 3-4 feet through!). There really isn't a pretty way to deal with the population except to trap them live and relocate them, thus giving the problem to someone else.
