The Iguana Problem in Miami

Miami’s tropical climate makes it an ideal habitat for green iguanas, which have become an invasive species across South Florida. The population of iguanas in the region has been growing steadily, causing several problems:

• Burrowing: Iguanas dig burrows that can destabilize seawalls, sidewalks, foundations, and docks. This is particularly concerning in coastal areas like Miami, where erosion and structural damage can lead to costly repairs.
• Garden Destruction: Iguanas feed on a variety of plants, including ornamental      flowers, vegetables, and fruit trees. This has resulted in significant landscaping damage for many homeowners in Miami.
• Health Risks: Iguanas can carry harmful bacteria such as Salmonella, which      can be transmitted through their droppings, often found around pools, patios, and other outdoor spaces.
• Ecological Impact: As an invasive species, iguanas outcompete native wildlife for      food and habitat, further disrupting Florida’s delicate ecosystem.

Given these concerns, iguana removal is critical for maintaining both property and environmental integrity in Miami.

IggyTrap’s Removal Process

  Site Assessment
IggyTrap begins by assessing the property to determine the extent of the iguana infestation. This includes identifying key areas where iguanas are burrowing, feeding, or nesting.

1. Trap Placement
       Based on the assessment, IggyTrap’s team strategically places live traps in areas with the highest iguana activity. These traps are baited with fruits and vegetables, which are attractive to iguanas, ensuring a higher likelihood of capture.
2. Regular Monitoring
       The team regularly checks the traps to ensure that captured iguanas are      removed promptly. Monitoring also allows for trap adjustments as needed, ensuring continuous effectiveness.
3. Humane Removal
       Once an iguana is captured, IggyTrap humanely removes it from the property. Depending on local regulations and best practices, iguanas may be humanely euthanized or relocated to areas where they cannot cause further harm.
4.  Follow-Up and Prevention After the removal, IggyTrap provides advice on preventive measures, such as blocking access to burrowing sites, removing food sources, and making the property less attractive to iguanas. This helps to ensure that iguanas do not return.
