Iguanas Getting on your Roof? It’s a Simpler Fix Than You Might Think

As the iguana population has exploded over the past few years, seeing iguanas on rooftops of single family homes has become a mainstay in most of all South Florida neighborhoods. The iguanas access the rooftops to bask, especially on clay tile roofs. Iguanas use objects like fences, lanai screens, and landscaping (mainly trees) to climb up to the rooftops. Once the iguanas find the path to the roof, there is a great chance that the iguanas are going to find somewhere to live up there- likely underneath the tiles- causing damage in the process.

Many homeowners do not know how big of an issue the iguanas on the roofs are until it’s too late. The iguanas will break tiles, tear the underlying roofing membrane with their nails, and leave droppings all over. All of this damage is uninsurable by most of all Florida Property Insurance Policies. Iguanas are labeled a remediable pest in Florida- meaning that homeowners are expected to be taking actions to actively prevent them from getting onto the home.

Luckily, IggyTrap is here to help. Our proprietary, affordable products are designed specifically to keep iguanas off your roof for good. Our IggyWrap is a simple way to stop iguanas from using tree trunks to climb up to the roof, and our IggyStop Lanai Protector is designed to permanently stop iguanas from climbing up the screen panels. Additionally, IggyTrap technicians are roof iguana removal experts- we’ve removed thousands of roof iguanas for homeowners in South Florida.
