How do you get rid of iguanas permanently?

Permanent iguana removal requires a multi-method approach: eliminate food sources, install physical barriers like IggyWrap on trees, apply IggyStop repellent around the perimeter, and deploy IggyTrap live cages in active zones. For large or recurring infestations, professional removal by a licensed company like IggyTrap provides the most reliable long-term results.

What is the most effective way to get rid of iguanas?

The most effective iguana removal strategy combines live trapping with IggyTrap cages, habitat modification to remove food and basking sites, IggyStop repellent application, and IggyWrap tree protection. For large infestations, professional removal by IggyTrap — South Florida's licensed iguana removal specialists — delivers the fastest and most lasting results.

Does vinegar keep iguanas away?

Vinegar has very limited effectiveness as an iguana deterrent. While the strong scent may briefly discourage iguanas from a specific spot, it evaporates quickly and provides no lasting control. Professional-grade repellents like IggyStop are specifically formulated for iguana deterrence and are significantly more effective and longer-lasting.

What attracts iguanas to your yard?

Iguanas are attracted to yards with abundant food sources such as flowering plants, hibiscus, fruits, and vegetables. They also seek warm sunny basking areas like pool decks, seawalls, and flat rocks, as well as soft soil near water for burrowing. Removing these attractants is the critical first step in any iguana control program.

What do iguanas hate the most?

Iguanas strongly dislike strong scents including citrus, garlic, and pepper-based repellents. They also avoid areas with physical barriers that prevent climbing and basking. Consistent human presence and noise can deter them temporarily, but professional-grade deterrents and live trapping are required for lasting control.

Is it legal to remove iguanas in Florida?

Yes. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) encourages property owners to humanely remove iguanas. Iguanas are not protected under Florida law. Licensed wildlife removal companies like IggyTrap can legally trap and remove them in compliance with all FWC regulations.

How do I stop iguanas from digging in my yard?

To stop iguanas from burrowing, fill existing burrow holes with compacted gravel or concrete, install underground barriers along foundations and seawalls, and apply IggyStop repellent around the perimeter. For persistent burrowing near structures, contact IggyTrap for a free on-site assessment.

IggyWrap^®-Iguana Prevention Tree Wrap

IGGYWRAP - TREE WRAP FOR IGUANAS

IggyWrap is the newest development in Iguana control and prevention. It's a clear acrylic tree wrap used to wrap trees, dock pilings, decks and any other structures Iguanas like to climb. By preventing the Iguanas for being able to climb trees or other structures you're denying them shelter and food sources. Wrapping pilings makes it more difficult for swimming Iguanas to climb your dock, they're likely to move on. IggyWrap is a low-cost, high return product. That will save you thousands of dollars. Call for a free estimate.

Below are numerus examples of IggyWrap installations. You'll notice, at first glance the IggyWrap is almost invisible. To the Iguanas it's like hitting a patch of ice, as their claws can't bite into the IggyWrap, so they'll either fall off the tree or be "Stopped dead in their tracks"! Leaving them one choice, find somewhere else to live!

 Verified It works! It works. Wish I had a video of my wife chasing an iguana up a tree until it got stuck at the Iggy guard. Just spun his wheels until she knocked him off.

 Verified These work. Trust me. I live in the iguana capital of the USA. OK. So I'd read that hanging bars of Irish Spring soap and/or spraying Irish Spring liquid soap liberally ALLLLLLL over the garden would keep iguanas at bay? Nope. They must bathe in the stuff, cuz they just kept on coming into our yard, climbing up the trees, making happy homes up there in the tippy-top branches, and only venturing down onto our patio to eat the orchids and then POOP.I don't wish them ill - I actually like iguanas. But I was tired of having to clean up their mess every other day all over the yard. So hubs and I took a gamble and bought a pack of these IggyWrap Iguana Tree Wraps. They are super easy to wrap around a tree and hold in place with the strip of velcro that comes with them. It took about 3 min per tree to wrap 'em on. In 20 minutes we were done.Since putting these wraps on last summer, our iguana traffic has dropped to near zero. They still waddle through the yard, and maybe once in 2 weeks I have to remove a calling card, but HUGELY successful as far as preventing these pests from making a home in ANY tree wrapped in IggyWrap. They simply can't get past the slippery plastic. Ditto for squirrels, but it was mainly the iguanas we wanted to discourage.I am also impressed that after months of sweltering heat and blazing sun, pouring buckets of rain, and just about every imagineable weather but snow, the plastic wraps are crystal clear - no water spots, no yellowing, no cracks. They look brand new. The clear plastic allows the texture of our date palms to really show through, so I'm SUPER happy to have found this very effective, safe wrap that is kind to iguanas but discourages them from making a home in our back yard.

 Verified Works It works as described!Our oak tree is old and has very uneven bark. The wrap left openings due to this. I will say that this was not a issue at all! We did have to stuff some of the packaging between due to the tree shape. The good lizards and a few tiny baby iguanas can pass underneath but no big deal. The native ones can live their happy life while the iguanas grew and left our yard completely because our tree was no longer available. We have seen some try to pass the guard but are never successful! Great product, just wish it was less expensive so I could buy more. Easy to install with two people.

 Verified It worked! It stopped this monster iguana in its tracks. I just ordered a second one for another tree in our yard. They like to climb the trees and then poop from above all over the pool patio area. It was becoming so frustrating cleaning up the mess. We have tried other methods as well. Trapping, sprays, etc.

 Verified No More Iguanas on the Roof I put this up on a tree right next to my house to keep iguanas from climbing up onto my roof. They've managed to get into my attic twice before, so I was desperate for a solution. Since installing this, we haven't seen a single iguana on the roof—and we used to spot them in the tree all the time. It's been a huge relief!Installation was super quick and easy. We just followed the directions provided and had it up in no time. So far, it’s doing exactly what I hoped it would. Highly recommend if you're dealing with stubborn iguanas like we were!

The IggyWrap Difference - What Would You Want?

This?

A couple of trees with some metal covers on them

Nothing could be worse for your tree than wrapping them with metal! It will block sun light, which the tree needs. Promotes disease and provides places for insects to hide and nest. The worse is the nails that are driven directly into the tree. You never want to do this. And then there's the obvious, its ugly!

Or This!

A tree with a sign on it next to a building.

IggyWrap is specifically designed to be used for this purpose. It allows all the natural sun light to pass through to the bark. It will not promote any diseases. It is fastened to itself and does attach directly to the tree, so there no nails or fasteners used. And lastly, it is almost unnoticeable keeping your landscaping looking beautiful.
