Iguana Removal & Control
Iguana Removal & Control in South Florida
Green iguana trapping, removal & prevention for homes, seawalls, HOAs & golf courses.
Green iguanas are one of South Florida's most destructive invasive species โ and one of our most-requested removals. They dig burrows that collapse seawalls, sidewalks and pool decks, devour ornamental landscaping and fruit, leave droppings across patios and docks, and multiply fast along every canal and lake in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. Florida Wildlife Pros removes iguanas humanely and puts a real control program in place so they don't come right back.
Warning Signs
Signs You Need Iguana Removal
If any of the following sound familiar, it's time to call in a professional:
- Iguanas basking on seawalls, docks, roofs, pool cages or fences
- Burrows and holes undermining seawalls, sidewalks, foundations or pool decks
- Chewed, stripped ornamental plants, flowers and fruit trees
- Droppings on patios, docks, decks and around the pool
- A growing population along your canal, lake or community waterway

Because green iguanas are a non-native, invasive species in Florida, they are not protected the way native wildlife is โ which means an effective, ongoing removal program is both legal and highly recommended for waterfront properties. The problem is that iguanas breed quickly and travel the water's edge, so trapping a few today does nothing if the burrows, food sources and access routes are still there tomorrow. That's why we combine removal with prevention.
Our approach starts with an inspection of your seawall, landscaping and waterline to locate burrows, basking spots and travel corridors. We then deploy targeted trapping and hands-on removal sized to the infestation, and we advise on habitat modification โ burrow collapse and exclusion, plant selection, and barrier options โ so the property becomes far less attractive to the next wave of iguanas.
For HOAs, waterfront communities and golf courses, iguana pressure is relentless and a one-time visit won't hold. We build recurring iguana-management programs that keep populations knocked down year-round, protect expensive seawall and hardscape investments, and give residents and members a single number to call.
Florida note: Green iguanas are an invasive species in Florida and are not protected โ but removal still has to be done humanely and legally. We handle it correctly so your property stays compliant and iguana-free.
Our Process
How Our Iguana Removal Works
Call & Assess
Call 561-940-1895 and describe the animal, the location and the situation. We assess urgency and dispatch fast.
On-Site Inspection
We identify the species, locate dens, burrows and entry points, and pinpoint what's drawing wildlife in.

We trap and remove the animal humanely and legally, accounting for young and following Florida regulations.
Cleanup & Prevention
We clean up, decontaminate and seal entry points so the problem is solved for good โ not just for now.
Why Iguana Removal Isn't a DIY Job
It's tempting to try to handle a wildlife problem yourself, but iguana removal done wrong usually makes things worse โ and in South Florida it can be genuinely dangerous or even illegal. The animal you're dealing with behaves in specific ways: where it dens and travels, what draws it in, and how it reacts when cornered. Get that wrong and you risk injury, an animal trapped and dying inside your walls, orphaned young, contamination, or a citation for mishandling a regulated species. Decades of hands-on South Florida experience is exactly what turns a risky guessing game into a fast, clean, permanent fix.

"Called about a gator in our community lake and they were out same day. Professional, calm and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. Our HOA now has them on call."

"Had raccoons in the attic with babies. They removed them humanely, cleaned everything up and sealed the roof so they can't get back. Worth every penny."
FAQ
Iguana Removal โ Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I have so many iguanas all of a sudden?
South Florida's canals and lakes are perfect iguana habitat, and populations explode in warm years. Once a few iguanas establish burrows along your seawall or waterline, they breed and attract more. Ongoing control is the only thing that keeps numbers down.
Will the iguanas come back after removal?
If nothing changes, yes โ new iguanas travel the water's edge into any open territory. That's why we pair removal with burrow collapse, exclusion and habitat advice, and why waterfront properties usually benefit from a recurring program.
Are iguanas actually damaging my seawall?
Yes. Iguana burrows honeycomb the soil behind seawalls and under sidewalks, pool decks and foundations, leading to erosion, cracking and costly collapse. Early control protects tens of thousands of dollars in hardscape.
Do you offer iguana programs for HOAs and golf courses?
Absolutely โ recurring iguana management is one of our most-requested commercial services. We keep populations suppressed community-wide and give managers and superintendents a single point of contact. Call 561-940-1895.
