Iguana Control
Green iguanas are invasive reptiles found throughout parts of Florida, especially in warm coastal communities where canals, waterfront landscaping, drainage systems, seawalls, and dense vegetation provide suitable habitat. Iguanas may spend time in trees, along canal banks, around pools, on docks, near landscaped gardens, or in burrows dug into open ground and embankments.
Wildlife, Inc. provides professional Florida wildlife control services for properties experiencing recurring iguana activity. Our technicians evaluate where iguanas are feeding, basking, sheltering, climbing, or burrowing and identify the parts of the property that are receiving the most use.
Signs of activity may include iguanas repeatedly appearing around seawalls, docks, pools, patios, trees, landscaped beds, canal edges, drainage areas, and open embankments. Burrows, droppings, disturbed vegetation, and repeated travel routes can also help determine where control efforts should be concentrated.
Depending on the property and confirmed activity, recommendations may include monitoring, trapping and removal planning, vegetation management, access reduction, burrow evaluation, and practical changes to landscaping or other conditions that encourage repeat use of the site.
Recognized as 2026’s Best Top Rated Wildlife Removal Company by ThreeBestRated®, Wildlife, Inc. provides professional iguana trapping, control, and removal planning for residential communities, waterfront properties, commercial sites, golf courses, and managed landscapes.
Iguana Removal
Iguana removal starts with understanding how the animals are using the property. Green iguanas may travel between canal banks, seawalls, trees, landscaped areas, golf-course edges, drainage systems, docks, patios, pools, and other warm, open areas where they can bask, feed, or find shelter.
Wildlife, Inc. inspects the property for repeated travel routes, burrows, droppings, feeding activity, climbing access, and areas where iguanas are regularly seen. Canal edges, seawalls, embankments, drainage structures, dense vegetation, fruiting plants, and low shelter areas may receive closer attention when activity is recurring.
Based on confirmed activity and site conditions, recommendations may include monitoring, trapping and removal planning, burrow evaluation, vegetation management, access reduction, and practical changes to landscaping or other property features that may encourage repeat use.
Waterfront homes, golf communities, commercial landscapes, managed properties, and large residential sites may each require a different control approach. Wildlife, Inc. develops iguana trapping, control, and removal recommendations according to property conditions, landowner authorization, site access, and applicable requirements.

Iguana Prevention, Exclusion & Property Mitigation
Long-term iguana control often depends on reducing the conditions that make a property easy to use for feeding, basking, climbing, shelter, and burrowing. Green iguanas may return to the same canal edges, seawalls, trees, landscaped beds, retaining areas, drainage features, and open embankments when those locations continue to provide access and cover.
Wildlife, Inc. reviews the property for recurring activity around vegetation, low structures, fencing, docks, seawalls, drainage areas, fruiting plants, and other features that may support continued use. Burrows and repeated travel routes are also evaluated so control work can be focused on the areas receiving the most activity.
Property-mitigation recommendations may include trimming or modifying vegetation, limiting access to preferred basking or shelter areas, addressing open gaps where practical, reviewing burrow locations, managing fallen fruit and other food sources, and monitoring canal banks, seawalls, embankments, and landscaped areas for renewed activity.
Exclusion options vary by property. Waterfront sites, golf communities, commercial landscapes, and residential properties may require different combinations of barriers, habitat modification, monitoring, and removal. Wildlife, Inc. develops iguana trapping, control, removal, and mitigation recommendations according to confirmed activity, landowner authorization, site conditions, and applicable requirements.
