Iguana Repellent

Have you ever woken up to find a lizard on your kitchen counter? I know what you’re thinking! Thank heavens it wasn’t a snake, right? Wrong. Snakes aren’t the only dangerous reptiles in the backyard that are looking for a free meal. Whether you’re trying to keep them out of your yard or your house, commercial iguana repellent can help. Do they work? Sure, but not all are created equally. Let’s talk about them here!

Iguana Repellent

Iguanas eat almost every type of vegetation, so they’re hard to get rid of. Florida law permits iguanas to be killed or removed without penalty. You cannot, however, trade, sell, or even raise iguanas in the state of Florida. You may have been told that you can simply repel iguanas if they aren’t a frequent problem, but that is easier said than done. As was previously mentioned, iguana repellents are not an effective measure. At Iguana Control, we can remove or repel any size iguana population. Call today to discuss your options.

Modifying Vegetation

Iguanas are attracted to fruit trees and flowers. The only fruits they dislike are citrus fruits, which they generally stay away from. They also prefer thick piles of bushes and areas with hidden spaces. Clearing out heavy bushes and trimming trees will help discourage them from hanging out in your yard. Include more citrus plants in your yard and other plants that iguanas dislike. Plant leaves that are too heavy to chew.

Many plants are toxic for these large reptiles and work as a great iguana repellent. For example, spinach, carrots, beets, brussel sprouts, Swiss chard, broccoli, and turnips all drive iguanas away from gardens because they are harmful to them.

Trapping Iguanas

Do not be taken in by advertisements for humane kill traps for iguanas. These do not exist. Most traps capture iguanas live and are designed for re-release. There is, however, a problem with this since Florida law does not allow you to release, sell, or transfer iguanas. It is legal to kill iguanas in a humane manner, which is a process better left to professional iguana trappers.

Topographical Modification

Other than changing the vegetation on your property, there are many other things that we can do to make your terrain unattractive to iguanas. Because they are burrowing creatures — iguanas nest, breed, and travel through subterranean tunnels — destroying and filling tunnels can be a huge deterrent to these pests. Iguanas also like to climb trees to eat the leaves. Placing protective mesh wrap around the base of the trunk can prevent the lizards from climbing them. Ultimately, we can eradicate any size iguana population using the methods that are known to work.
