They got in my papaws pond when I was a kid. Went from a 2 acre pond to 10. Killed lots of trees. He fought them for years but they won. Eventually it put such a strain on the levee, that they were the only thing keeping the pond holding any water. A few years later and the entire levee collapsed and no more pond. The beavers moved down stream and now it’s the neighbors problem.

Im dealing with the same issue and have been for a few years now. Here is what i learned:
i havnet had luck with tannerite. they're dam is tightly packed together with mud. doesnt do nearly the amount of damage as you expect.
if you think you have only 2, there are probably 10.
If you destroy the dam and wait, they will come out right before dark to repair it. this is your best chance at shooting one. i would recommend putting a lock on by the pond so you can shoot from above.
traps will help, but will not wipe the whole population out
Even if you destroy there house with a bulldozer, they will build it back in a day or two
The only thing that worked for us was to drain the pond. Did this in May. Eventually left on their own. Once they left, we re-dammed the pond in september. they haven't come back yet bu im sure its only a matter of time.
