Iguanas are a destructive invasive species that pose serious threats to Florida's ecosystem, infrastructure, and public health. They cause significant, costly damage by burrowing under sidewalks, patios, and seawalls, weakening structural foundations. Their droppings contaminate pools, patios, and outdoor areas, creating sanitation concerns, including potential Salmonella exposure, and attracting disease-carrying ticks and mites. They destroy landscaping by eating ornamental plants, flowers, and fruits, and their large size (up to 6 feet) makes them intimidating to residents. Additionally, they displace native wildlife, compete for food sources, and reproduce rapidly with females laying 20-70 eggs annually.
We offer flexible pricing to meet different needs and budgets. Our One-Time Visit starts at $199 for professional iguana removal using humane methods. Multi-Day Intensive Removal starts at $500 for comprehensive clearance of larger infestations and breeding areas. Iguana Control (ongoing service) is as low as $400 a month and includes regular scheduled visits for ongoing control and prevention, perfect for recurring issues. Commercial services for HOAs, golf courses, and businesses are quoted by scope with specialized rates available. All prices depend on factors like property size, infestation level, and accessibility. We provide detailed, transparent quotes with no hidden fees.

Yes. Green iguanas are classified as an invasive species in Florida and are not protected under state wildlife law. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) encourages the humane removal of green iguanas from private property. However, removal must be conducted humanely, and anti-cruelty laws still apply. Property owners can remove iguanas from their own property without a permit, but professional removal is strongly recommended for safety and effectiveness.
Iguanas carry Salmonella bacteria in their intestinal tract and shed it through their droppings. Contact with iguana feces, contaminated soil, or surfaces where iguanas have been can potentially transmit Salmonella to humans. Symptoms include fever, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and vomiting. Iguanas can also carry ticks and mites that may affect household pets. This is a particular concern for families with young children, elderly residents, and immunocompromised individuals. Regular removal of iguanas and their droppings reduces these health risks.
South Florida's canal system, abundant food sources, and warm climate create an endless supply of iguanas migrating into residential and commercial areas. Even after successful removal, new iguanas will eventually move into vacant territory. This is why ongoing monthly maintenance programs are the most effective long-term solution for reducing recurring iguana activity over time. A single removal addresses the current problem, but sustained management keeps activity from building back up.
We offer same-day service for most areas in Palm Beach and Broward Counties. Call us at (561) 310-1114 and we will work with your schedule, including weekends.
