Audubon wildlife control tip of the month:

About Beaver

Beavers are large Audubon pest control rodents that are mostly nocturnal creatures and are best known for building dams and canals. There are two general species of beavers, Eurasian and North American. Eurasian is slightly bigger then North American, but generally, they are very similar, despite being genetically incompatible. Beavers are compelled to gnaw on wood because their front teeth are growing all the time and they have to keep them under control by using them often. Adult North American beaver can weigh up to 27 kilograms and can be from 60 to 100 centimeters long, with the addition of the tail. Eurasian can grow to 35 kilograms and be 135 centimeters long. Their fur can be reddish, blackish and brown. They are hunted for their fur, so there are areas in Europe and Asia where they have been exterminated. North Americans were also in danger, but measures were taken to help them, and they were successful.

Their diet is mostly the wood it uses to make dams, but can also eat leaves, tree bark, roots etc. They are very social and live in groups called Audubon wildlife removal colonies. They mate during winter and have a gestation period of 60 to 128 days (for Eurasian beavers) and 105 to 107 days for North American, after which they give birth to from 1 to 6 babies called kits. Kits stay in their mothers lodge for about two years and start a life on their own after that. Both mother and a father raise their young and they stay together for life. Two generations of beavers can be found in one lodge, first and second offspring living together.

Beavers have a great impact on the Audubon animal trapping environment. They make dams by weaving branches and logs together, some of which are 2 meters high. Sometimes they even make canals to bring water to their dam. The biggest area that a beaver got influenced by its dam was 850 meters long. Their dams actually purify the water and they prevent erosion. Beavers’ homes are called lodges, which are very hard and they prevent predators to dig through them. That is because they are made from mud and leaves. Entrance to the lodge is underwater, so rarely any other animal can enter, but sometimes muskrats were found living inside along with beavers. Beavers can dive for 15 minutes and their kits can swim 24 hours after birth, so that is their natural Audubon exterminator environment.
