Iguana control can feel like an optional expense — until the burrows behind your seawall cause it to crack. Here's the real math on ignoring an iguana problem in South Florida.
The damage adds up quietly
Iguana burrows undermine seawalls, sidewalks, pool decks, foundations and paver patios. The damage is hidden at first — voids forming under the surface — until something cracks, sinks or collapses. Seawall repairs commonly run into the tens of thousands of dollars.
Add in destroyed landscaping, stained and soiled surfaces, and the ongoing nuisance, and an unmanaged iguana problem is one of the more expensive things a waterfront property can face.
Control costs a fraction of repair
Compared to major seawall or hardscape repair, a professional iguana control program is a small, predictable cost — and it protects the far larger investment underneath. It's classic preventive maintenance: cheap now, or very expensive later.
The properties that avoid the big repair bills are the ones that stayed ahead of the iguanas with ongoing management.
Protect the investment
