They are active at night, and will plug any small breaks you make in the dam. You can use this to your advantage, bust the dam open in the morning, then deal with them when they show up at dusk. They can easily detect you, be stealthy in your affairs. If they have not made a dam yet, they may eventually to flood up to or into additional food sources.
Best to read up what the laws are in your state. In NY, as I interpret DEC rules, if they block access to agricultural land or compromise infrastructure, you have a good chance of being in the right if you have to deal with the beaver. Read and understand the law before doing anything.

They are dangerous, use care. I had one charge me, all 44 lbs of him. One big rodent. They are also incredible creatures, fascinating what they can do, just it is a big conflict sometimes with people, roads, culverts, ag land etc.

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad.
