Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Cypress Trees and Aquatic Plants

Mark,
One thing that works on beaver is crushing & sprinkling the hottest peppers you can find around your trees esp. btw the trees & water. Do this anywhere you see or anticipate beaver activity. It gets on their paws & ends up in their eyes & mouths. You want to discourage them from making your pond their home.
Also trapping season will be in soon. Talk to your local wildlife officer to get a name of a local trapper. Any trapper worth his salt can remove EVERY beaver from an area if he desires.
I would advise searching this site for desirable plants. There's a couple of very good plant guys here that have written great posts on the subject. Searching will give you many more ideas than one or 2 responces.
