Our tried and true method is to plant a lot of trees that you dearly love. Beavs will wait until those trees have juuuuuust enough growth for you to appreciate them and your efforts,.....and will arrive to mow'em all down during a high water event. ;-/ But that's speaking of a situation where you know they are present and just waiting for the right, critical mass of timber. If they really are gone from your area, Lorinne had a good suggestion. Just a side note in case it impacts your decision, your lack of Beavs currently may be due to zealous neighbors or local trappers who are not as enamored with them as you and will continue to eradicate those wander onto their property. If you get a chance to cross paths with the locals and the issue comes up, you may be able to find out quickly if this is an issue. Good luck!!

Nothing ruins a neighborhood like paved roads and water lines.

Well it would take one hell of a beaver colony to dam the Ohio River. Instead they build big "huts" if that's the proper term at least that's what they look like. They are attached to trees,mostly willow that have fallen over but still alive or with their roots extending into the water. The huts rise and fall with the water level, the entrances are under the water. Periodically, every several years at least, the water gets high enough to wash the huts away but the beavers just build new ones.
