What Problems Do Iguanas Cause?
Iguanas can do a lot of damage, despite being peaceful herbivores. Issues they can cause include:
Ecological Threats
Iguanas are invasive species that can have a negative impact on local ecosystems. They compete with native species for resources, and their burrows can destabilize soil and cause erosion.
Health Hazards
Iguanas can carry diseases such as salmonella, which can be transmitted to humans through contact with their feces or saliva. Additionally, their droppings can create unpleasant odors and attract flies and other pests.
Property Damage
Iguanas can cause significant damage to properties by chewing on plants, digging burrows, and nesting in attics or crawl spaces. This can result in costly repairs and decreased property values.
Safety Issues
Iguanas can be dangerous if they feel threatened. They can lash out with their tails or bite if they are cornered or provoked. This can result in injuries to people and pets.
Agricultural Damage
Iguanas can cause significant damage to agricultural crops, resulting in decreased yields and financial losses for farmers.
Iguana Removal Miami Beach
Our team can humanely trap iguanas for you. We do this by performing the following steps:
Identifying the Problem Areas
Before setting up traps, we identify the areas where iguanas are present and causing damage. This will help determine the best location for the traps.
Picking the Right Trap
There are various types of traps available, such as live-capture traps or one-way door traps. We choose a trap that is appropriate for the size and behavior of the iguanas in the area.
Non-Toxic Baiting
Iguanas are attracted to certain types of food, such as fruits, vegetables, and flowers. We bait the trap with a type of food that is appealing to iguanas.
Trap Placement
Our team will place the trap in the area where iguanas are present and causing damage. We then make sure the trap is secure and cannot be easily knocked over.
Monitoring the Trap
We check the trap at least once a day to ensure that iguanas are not left in the trap for extended periods. This will also help prevent the trapped iguanas from becoming stressed or injured.
Transport Iguanas
Once the iguanas are trapped, we take them away!
Facts About Florida’s Iguana Population
Here are some things about iguanas that you probably didn’t know.
They Are Invasive
Iguanas are not native to Florida. They were introduced to the state as pets, and some were accidentally released into the wild. Iguanas are considered an invasive species in Florida because they have no natural predators in the state and can compete with native species for resources.
Rapid Overgrowth
Florida’s iguana population has been growing rapidly in recent years, with some estimates putting the number of iguanas in the state in the hundreds of thousands.
They Love Warm Weather
Iguanas are well-suited to Florida’s warm climate, which allows them to thrive and reproduce quickly.
They Cause Harm As a Pest
The increasing iguana population in Florida has been linked to property damage, safety concerns, and ecological impact, making it important to take proactive measures to control their population.
Protected Species
Despite their invasive status, iguanas are protected by state and federal laws to a certain extent.
Why You Shouldn’t Try to Kill Iguanas When Trapping Them
Violently trying to remove iguanas can be dangerous for both the iguana and the person attempting to remove it. Here are a few reasons why it is not recommended to use violent methods for iguana removal:
Iguanas Are Wild Animals
Iguanas are not domesticated animals and can be unpredictable in their behavior. If they feel threatened, they may become aggressive and attack. Attempting to grab or restrain an iguana can result in bites or scratches that can be painful and potentially dangerous.
You Can’t Be Inhumane
Using violent methods to remove iguanas can cause unnecessary harm to the animal. Remember that iguanas are living creatures that deserve to be treated with respect and compassion.
Legality Issues
The way you treat iguanas may be illegal. The way you can harm or kill iguanas is constantly updated statewide and federally. Check local laws and regulations before attempting to remove iguanas from your property.
Ineffective Methods
Violent methods such as hitting or throwing objects at iguanas may not be effective in the long term. These methods may only serve to temporarily scare the iguana away, and it may return later. Humane methods such as exclusion, trapping, or habitat modification are more effective in the long term.
Use Repellents
There are a variety of natural and commercial iguana repellents available that can be used to deter these reptiles but it is not the most effective method. Some popular natural options include garlic, onions, and hot peppers. Commercial repellents typically contain ingredients such as naphthalene, which is toxic to iguanas.
