Introduction

The beaver is back. If you’ve ever had a garden, you know what I mean. The beaver is the scourge of the suburban gardener. It eats up your plants, damns up your stream and makes a mess of everything in sight. But there are ways to stop this woodland menace before it gets started. Here are some tips for keeping the beavers out of your yard:

A tall fence

There are many ways you can keep beavers out of your garden. A tall fence is the best way to do that, because it will keep them out of your garden. But if you have a small yard, or if you don’t want to spend thousands of dollars on a tall fence, there are other options available for keeping beavers from eating your plants.

• Use traps

This is one option that many people overlook—but traps may not be ideal for everyone’s needs. You must be willing to take care of whatever animal has been trapped and released it far away from your home (hopefully where there aren’t any other homes). This means catching it yourself or hiring someone else who can do this job for you at an additional cost over the price of setting up the trap itself (which usually costs around $10).

A different kind of fence

A good fence is one that you don’t have to see. A fence that’s hidden from view, or even just partially hidden, will mean less time spent looking at it and more time spent admiring your garden.

The best fences to use are those made of materials that are not attractive to beavers or other animals looking for an easy meal, such as wire or metal mesh. It should also be at least five feet tall so any animal trying to get through will need a ladder or some help from their friends if they want access.

If you’re worried about the aesthetics of your yard then consider planting a row of bushes (that are thorny) along the top third of your fence so it blends in better with its surroundings and makes it harder for people walking by on sidewalks nearby to see what kind of crazy stuff goes on inside your yard during late night parties when everyone comes outside after drinking too much Chardonnay because there’s nothing else left in bottles lying around except maybe some vodka which tastes terrible when mixed with anything else except cranberry juice but since there’s none left we’re stuck drinking straight shots until our stomachs hurt so bad we puke up everything we’ve eaten all day long onto lawn chairs where people sit down next week without realizing they’re sitting on top layer vomit covered up by new grass shoots growing underneath them until someone notices something funny happening around here …

Make the beavers think it’s all yours

The beavers may be thinking that they’re getting away with something. They are sneaking around your garden and eating your plants, but you’ve probably never noticed them because you live in a different house and don’t spend much time in the yard. To make the beavers think that you have moved out, or at least aren’t home very often, try these things:

• Put up a sign on your property saying “This is my land! Stay off it!”
• Make it look like you haven’t been using your garden recently (for example, by not mowing grass)
• Plant crops and other edibles in other parts of the yard so that if any animals come near the area where they are eating from, they will see something else growing instead of just bare dirt

Guess what? You can scare those pesky beavers.

You can scare those pesky beavers.

• Make loud noises to scare the beavers away—yelling and banging pots and pans together are good options. If you have a dog, let it out to run around in the yard while you’re making noise. The beaver will likely move on when they see that they’re not wanted!
• Use a water hose to spray them—this is another great way to make sure that your garden stays safe from these animals! Be careful though because if you use too much water then your plants might get too wet and die from drowning (that’s what happened last time). It’s best if you just lightly spray them with some water instead of dumping bucketsful onto their heads (or tails).
• Use a loud noise maker—if all else fails at scaring off those pesky creatures then try using something like this outdoor motion sensor which should do just fine at keeping away intruders looking for food near your house/yard… especially when combined with some other methods listed above!

You can stop beavers from eating your garden, but you must take action before they arrive

You can stop beavers from eating your garden, but you must take action before they arrive. Beavers have a reputation for being smart, but this is not always the case. In fact, it’s bad news for anyone who hopes to keep beavers out of their garden because these mammals lack an ability to problem solve and make decisions based on the situation at hand. A beaver’s brain has evolved over time with one goal in mind: eating as much food as possible while building and maintaining dams that allow them access to more food sources.

A dam by definition is a barrier built across a stream or river in order to redirect water flow through channels or reservoirs which feed into irrigation systems or other uses such as hydroelectric power generation plants (i.e., dams). The construction of dams often involves more than just one animal—it requires teamwork between several individuals who work together toward creating something greater than themselves individually could achieve alone—but once these structures are built each individual benefits greatly from having access not only their own personal living space above water level but also an entire ecosystem below!

Conclusion

Beavers can be a nuisance, and they can also be quite destructive to your garden. However, with a little time and effort you can keep them away from your yard and enjoy the fruits of spring in peace.
