Iguana Control Wellington, FL
Florida iguana control: humane live trapping, habitat modification, and exclusion to keep invasive iguanas off your property.
Iguana Control in Wellington
Green iguanas are an invasive species in Florida, especially across the southern half of the state. They burrow into seawalls and pool decks, dig under foundations, defoliate ornamentals and citrus, and leave droppings that can carry Salmonella. Because they are not native, the FWC encourages humane removal. We live-trap iguanas, modify the habitat that's drawing them in, and install exclusion barriers around seawalls, pool cages, and landscape beds. Property owners across coastal and waterfront Florida deal with this constantly and the longer they're left alone, the more structural damage they cause.

Why is Professional Iguana Control Important in Wellington?
Green iguanas are an invasive species that thrives in Wellington's humid subtropical climate and year-round wildlife activity. They burrow into seawalls, undermine pool decks, defoliate ornamentals, and leave Salmonella-bearing droppings on patios. Live trapping, habitat modification, and exclusion are the only long-term solutions. Palm Beach County properties see this constantly, especially near water.

What is included
- Humane live trapping. We live-trap iguanas with techniques refined for Florida's biggest infestations and handle them in compliance with FWC guidance for invasive species.
- Seawall and pool deck protection. Iguanas burrow into seawalls and undermine pool decks. We exclude burrow access and reinforce vulnerable areas before structural damage spreads.
- Habitat modification. We identify the food, water, and shelter pulling iguanas onto your property and adjust them so the area becomes unattractive long-term.
- Health awareness. Iguana droppings can carry Salmonella, especially around pool decks and patios where families gather. We clean and sanitize affected surfaces.
Common questions
Are iguanas protected in Florida?
No. Green iguanas are an invasive species and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission encourages humane removal. They are not protected and our trapping is fully legal.
Why are iguanas a property problem?
Iguanas burrow into seawalls and pool decks, which can lead to expensive structural failure. They defoliate ornamentals and citrus, leave droppings that can carry Salmonella, and their populations grow fast in Florida's climate.
Where in Florida do you handle iguanas?
We service iguana issues statewide, with the highest case volume across South Florida and waterfront communities. Call (407) 917-6672 to schedule an inspection.
Will the iguanas come back?
Live trapping alone is not enough. We pair removal with habitat modification and exclusion barriers so the property becomes unattractive to iguanas long-term. Without those steps, new iguanas tend to recolonize within weeks.
Are your methods humane?
Yes. We use humane live trapping and follow FWC guidance for handling invasive species. We do not use poisons.
