 We're not allowed to tamper with the wild life in any way, or we are
fined seriously!! We too had beavers for quite a while. I would wake up
and yawn and stretch and gaze out at the lake and...BLAM!!!...I would
notice that we didn't have that maple tree any more. Next day, no willow!
It was actually kind of funny. Fish and Wildlife said we couldn't touch
them. But they suggested the loud radio played on the dock all night,
plus a bright light left on all night. After several days of this, they
stayed away. Where did they go? Don't know!! The Fish and Wildlife guys
said they could trap them and move them to a different part of the lake,
but they would only return the next day (twelve miles!!). This radio and
light things seems a great idea. Works for Canadian geese, mink, and so
on. Try it if you're having trouble. I am sure it would even work for
cats in your garden!

ADVICE: Raccoons are vicious attackers on household pets. They can shred
a cat or dog! Don't feed raccoons because they are cute...they get very
demanding and will cause you no end of grief.
