Minnesota Animal Pest Removal – Beavers, Part II

Beaver Removal in the Twin Cities Metro Area, Part II

Beavers can quickly cause serious damage to your home or property, but did you know that beavers are also the known carriers of many diseases which affect humans?

Giardia lamblia, also called Giardiasis, is an intestinal parasite which is transmitted to humans from beavers through the water supply.  If you swim or wade in water near a beaver dam, chances are you will contract this parasite.  It is estimated that up to 2.5 million cases occur each year.  Children are the most often and easily affected; however those with immune disorders can very easily become ill also.  Giardia lamblia can most certainly cause stomach cramping, diarrhea, nausea with or without vomiting and fatigue.

Most people do not think of beavers as high on their list of rodent pests which will do damage in their yard and around their homes.  On the contrary, beavers are the largest rodent in North America, weighing from 35 to 50 pounds.  Some even make it to 75-80 pounds.  In the land of 10,000 lakes, beaver infestations are not uncommon.

Beavers quickly build their homes, or dams, in any body of water.  They can build a dam in a small pond or stream or a large rushing river.  They do not care where they get the wood needed to build their large beaver dams, lodges and bank dens.  This is where the homeowner comes in.  Since a beaver is a very fast home builder, they can destroy much of your lake property or home if you are near a water source very quickly.

If you have seen a beaver den or dam near your home and are concerned about the safety of your trees and property, give us a call.  We at Minnesota Wild Animal Management Inc. are experts at the humane removal of beavers that may be causing damage to your property.
