A recent CBS Miami report highlighted a growing concern in South Florida: iguanas leaving salmonella-carrying droppings on playgrounds, sidewalks, and outdoor equipment used daily by children. For schools, daycares, and parks, this isn’t just a wildlife inconvenience,it’s a real health issue that affects the places our kids learn, grow, and spend their time outdoors. As a local South Florida company, this hits close to home for us because these are our community’s children and the shared spaces we all care about.
At IggyTrap, we take pride in helping protect the outdoor areas families rely on. When iguanas roam school fields, climb playground structures, or gather around shaded park areas, they leave behind contamination that kids can quickly come into contact with. We understand how important it is for parents and staff to feel confident that these spaces are clean, safe, and ready for daily play. Keeping iguanas “out of sight and out of mind” helps prevent unnecessary health risks while keeping outdoor areas inviting and well-maintained.
We already partner with several schools, daycares, and parks across South Florida, but we want to partner with even more. The need is growing, and we’re committed to helping as many facilities as possible keep their outdoor spaces protected. Our team provides humane iguana removal and long-term prevention tailored specifically to active, kid-focused environments. We walk each property, identify high-traffic zones, and create a plan that keeps iguanas away from the areas children use most. It’s a proactive approach that reduces risk, supports staff, and gives parents peace of mind.
As members of this community ourselves, we genuinely care about maintaining safe, healthy, and welcoming outdoor spaces throughout South Florida. Kids deserve places where they can run, explore, and have fun — without the hidden risks that come from iguana activity. We’re here to support more schools, daycares, and parks in creating truly iguana-free environments so families can continue enjoying the sunshine without worry
