Both humans and beavers change their surrounding to suit their needs, and from time to time, these needs may come into conflict. Property owners, in particular, may experience unwanted flooding. When conflicts arise, it’s better to seek long-range solutions. Destroying beavers just creates vacant territory for new beavers to move in. Many property owners find success with water flow devices, which prevent issues from flooding caused by beaver dams. Pipe system devices control the water level in a beaver pond—offering a long-term solution for homeowners while allowing beavers to continue maintaining precious wetlands.

Both crocodiles and alligators look like large and intimating reptiles and share a number of similarities, including long snouts, powerful tails, short legs, and bony-plated backs. The main difference is that a crocodile has a narrow snout that comes to a point at the tip, and the fourth lower tooth is always visible even when the crocodile's mouth is closed. An alligator, on the other hand, has a broad, blunt snout. Another difference is color. If the reptile is gray or black then it’s most likely a gator. On the other hand, if you see one that is olive or tan you are most likely looking at a crocodile.
