We've been messing with beavers on my dad's property in northern Michigan for 35 years. Only thing you can do is trap 'em or kill 'em. There must be enough flowing water (and land around) for them to build a dam (that's why they cut down the trees); if you get rid of the dam enough times they may move on. But once they are there, it's pretty tough. BTW, beaver pelts are bringing a pretty good buck these days...
