Pull traps. Re-check in a couple of weeks. Holes not repaired. Job complete. Sarge
Getting old is a fatal mistake
Always looking for reloading componets
I know a beaver or two, because I've seen a beaver or two

I may check once or twice after hole torn into the main dam. Around here, i find two weeks work for me. But I also give a 30 day warranty on my jobs (this is built into the price). It is also a good selling point. Also, I spray paint all the stubs an trees that have been chewed on. So, when one returns, the new damage shows up like a sore thumb from afar. Sarge

Ok. Sounds like my typical situation at times. It gets tough at times. Make sure you are getting paid enough( multiple trips will ensue). Do not set on or near the pathways, only asking for trouble. I would try to gain permission from the private property owners and set up the streams going and coming. If that isn't possible, then at times you will have to pass on these types of jobs until they(managers and landowners) come to their senses. Also, I would make sure that they know this is a maintenance job, not an eradication job. Unless they don't mind paying each and time a new beaver shows up.
If by chance they can shut down the area due to maintenance( that's a good public excuse to buy you time) for you to do your job. Then you will have to hit it hard.
Make it work for you, don't put yourself in a pickle. Remember, they called you, they are the ones with the beaver issue. If they want them removed bad enough, they will find a way that works for you and them. Also, remind them what it must be costing them every year in damage and that it will not get any better until they are removed or maintained. I have an area that shuts down for two weeks or more just for this very reason. And signs are posted that it will be closed from this date to this date. Any more questions, don't hesitate to PM.
