Why Control Beavers?

Beavers are impressive animals—but in the wrong place, their dams and tree-cutting can create costly problems for homeowners in Des Moines.

At Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management, we provide fast, humane beaver removal services in Des Moines, IA to protect your property and peace of mind.

Beaver Removal Services

We know at Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management how stressful it can be to deal with beaver damage around your home or property in Des Moines.

That’s why our removal services are designed not just to solve the problem—but to do it with care, respect for wildlife, and long-term results you can count on.

  • We Start with a Careful Inspection:

    Every situation is different, so we begin by walking your property and checking for signs like gnawed trees, trails, and dam-building. This helps us understand exactly what’s going on before we take action.

  • Humane, Effective Removal:

    When it comes to removing beavers, we take a humane approach that respects both the animal and your property. Our methods are proven to work—and we always prioritize safety and ethics.

  • Prevention That Actually Works:

    Once the beavers are gone, we help you keep them out. We often wrap trees with wire barriers—about three feet high and a foot away from the trunk—to protect them from future chewing.

  • Safe for Families, Pets, and the Environment:

    We know you’re not just protecting your yard—you’re protecting your home. That’s why our methods are eco-friendly and low-impact, designed to work without harming the surrounding ecosystem.

  • Plans That Fit Your Property:

    There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to wildlife. We’ll create a plan that works for your space, your concerns, and the level of activity on your land—so you get results you can count on.

How to Spot Beaver Activity

Detecting beaver activity early can help prevent significant damage to your property. Here are key indicators to watch for:

1. Gnawed Trees and Shrubs

Look for trees and shrubs with gnawed bark or completely felled trees near water sources, as beavers use these for building dams and lodges.

2. Dams and Lodges

Check for dam constructions across streams or rivers and lodges made of sticks and mud. These structures are often found in water bodies and can significantly alter the landscape.

3. Muddy Trails

Observe for muddy trails leading from water sources to feeding areas or tree stumps. Beavers create these paths as they transport materials to and from their construction sites.

MAIN ISSUES

  • Damage of Property

  • Water Backup

  • Tree Damage

  • Man-Made Dam Failure

Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management came to my house to deal with a serious bat problem. I have had no issues with bats since they came, and the guy who did the work on my house was thorough and took obvious pride in his work. They are knowledgeable and thorough and don’t take the easy way out. It was clear that they really cared about solving my bat issue and I highly recommend them to anyone with a bat problem.

Jared was super helpful, set up traps, and we are looking forward to a raccoon free attic.

Knowledgeable, careful, and insightful-
I had the opportunity to meet with Nicole Spaulding from Bobcat Wildlife and Pest Management to learn more of what she does and to ask questions about their industry, fearing it affected my own (outdoor aquatic stock growth).
She took the time to share with me the ins-and-outs of her industry, genuinely caring for my concerns, resolving them completely in the end.

Nate with Bobcat Pest was great to work with! I called in about a birds nest removal. He gave the roof a full inspection, cleaned out the nest/dead birds, and returned a week later to patch the hole. Very professional service.

Thank you so much! We debated calling for a long time. When I finally did Blake came the very next day and trapped the squirrel who was the culprit of the damage. He fixed the damage too! We are so happy we finally called, wish we would have done it sooner! Thanks Blake!
