Seawall repairs frequently run into the tens of thousands of dollars, far more than ongoing iguana control. Add landscaping and hardscape damage and the cost of ignoring iguanas climbs fast.

For waterfront property, yes — it's a fraction of the cost of the seawall and hardscape damage it prevents. It's preventive maintenance for expensive infrastructure.

Ongoing trapping, burrow collapse and exclusion. Call 561-940-1895 to set up a program before the damage becomes structural.

Iguanas aren't aggressive but will defend themselves if cornered, using their tail, claws and bite — which can injure a pet. Supervise encounters and discourage chasing.

Iguanas can carry salmonella, and droppings around the yard are a potential exposure route. Clean up droppings promptly and keep pets away from them.

Reduce the iguana population with professional control, supervise pets, and keep droppings cleaned up. Call 561-940-1895 to set up a program.

It can carry salmonella, so it should be cleaned up carefully with gloves and disinfectant, keeping children and pets away. Avoid dry-sweeping it.

Reduce basking appeal and remove the resident iguanas. Ongoing control for waterfront properties is what keeps decks and docks clean long-term.

Iguanas often defecate in water and bask near pools. Removing the local population and discouraging basking solves it. Call 561-940-1895.

No — there's no good evidence ultrasonic devices deter iguanas, and they habituate quickly. Habitat control and trapping are far more effective.

Removing food sources, collapsing burrows, physical barriers/exclusion, and reducing the population through professional trapping. There's no magic gadget.

Only for short-term protection of specific plants; they wash off and don't reduce iguana numbers. Population control is the lasting fix. Call 561-940-1895.

Generally yes — iguanas are invasive and not protected beyond anti-cruelty law, and removal is encouraged. But they must be handled humanely, and professional removal is safest and most effective.

Yes. Even though iguanas are invasive, Florida's anti-cruelty laws still apply, so inhumane methods can carry legal consequences. Humane removal is the right approach.

For anything beyond an occasional visitor — and especially seawall infestations — yes. Professionals remove them humanely and legally and solve the underlying problem. Call 561-940-1895.

No. Green iguanas are an invasive species in Florida, established via the pet trade. With no natural predators and an ideal climate, their numbers have exploded.

Warm winters allow more iguanas to survive and breed, so populations surge. Cold snaps knock them back temporarily, but they rebound quickly.

No — without active control it only grows. Professional trapping and habitat management is the reliable way to keep numbers down. Call 561-940-1895.

Iguanas tend to avoid tough, thick-leaved or strongly-scented plants like crotons, oleander, milkweed and some natives. Using resistant plants in high-pressure areas helps, but reducing the population is the real fix.

They can protect specific plants short-term but wash off and need constant reapplication. They don't reduce the iguana population, so damage returns.

Reduce the iguanas. Professional trapping and burrow control lowers the local population so there's simply less appetite for your garden. Call 561-940-1895.

Yes. Their burrows undermine the soil behind the wall, causing erosion, voids and cracking that can lead to partial or full seawall failure — a very expensive repair.

Trapping the resident population, collapsing and backfilling burrows, and maintaining a recurring program since new iguanas travel the waterline. Barriers and exclusion help where feasible.

Yes — community-wide iguana management along shared seawalls and lakes is one of our most-requested services. Call 561-940-1895.

Professional trapping combined with burrow removal. It clears the resident population immediately and stops them from re-establishing. DIY deterrents are slow and unreliable by comparison.

If you don't change the habitat, yes — new iguanas travel the water's edge into open territory. That's why pairing removal with burrow collapse, exclusion and (for waterfront homes) a recurring program is essential.

You can reduce them somewhat with habitat changes, but large infestations — especially along a seawall — really need professional trapping and burrow work to solve. Call 561-940-1895 for help.
