Make no mistake, the iguana population in FL has exploded. Official population estimates are wildly inaccurate and outdated; The current population is most likely in the tens of millions. This number is only going to continue to grow into the hundreds of millions over the next several years. Iguanas face no natural predators, can live over 10 years in the wild, and can lay anywhere from 25-75 eggs at a time.
Conventional animal nuisance traps just simply aren’t efficient enough to tackle the iguana invasion. Traditional nuisance traps trap one animal at a time, and there’s no way to differentiate your targeted species outside of some different baiting techniques. Air gun remediation efforts can be effective, but efforts are time intensive and require a trained eye and a good shot- if a shot isn’t placed, iguanas can be exposed to prolonged suffering and inhumane death. Additionally, if there are no iguanas present during the time of air gun remediation, nothing can be done.
IggyTrap is the answer for these issues. IggyTrap utilizes multi-capture; Anywhere from 1-25 iguanas can be caught in a single unit at a time. Think of Iggytrap as a “crab pot” for iguanas. IggyTrap has camouflage covers and optional water bowls for the animals.
The cages are PVC coated to protect against the elements and prevent any damage to the animal. IggyTraps can be deployed all over South Florida- which could eventually turn the tide against the most invasive pest in the region.
