The beaver is the largest rodent living in North America. Adults are generally 35 to 46 inches long, including a flattened 12- to 18-inch tail, and weigh 45 to 60 pounds. They have very large hind feet with five large webbed toes and small and dexterous front feet that they use to build dams.
Beavers generally eat aspens and willows but will also eat the twigs and bark of most woody plants located near water. They also consume large quantities of non-woody plants, such as grasses and cattails, during the growing season. They stockpile food near their lodges in the fall.
Beavers build dams that result in the creation of ponds where their lodge and winter food cache are located. It is believed that the sensation of water flowing and the sound of running water encourage them to build dams. They also construct canals to provide security and to transport food and building materials. Beavers usually cut trees and build dams at night.
Beaver dams can cause problems for humans. A dam can create an impoundment that can threaten a homeowner’s property located downstream. It can also cause land to flood upstream. Flooding can damage or kill trees or crops. Homes, roads, and railways can become flooded. Water supplies can become contaminated. Drainage systems can be impaired. Wildlife habitats can be damaged.
If a beaver has built a dam that is causing flooding or damage to your yard in Middlebury, Connecticut, you need to take immediate action to address the problem. If you do not do so, it will only get worse. The beaver and the dam need to be removed in order to protect your property.
