Many of the calls Nuisance Wildlife Rangers receives from homeowners in reference to Iguanas are that they are digging in their yards. These pests will dig under foundations of homes, embankments, and under docks to create burrows to live in and have their young. The damage from the burrows can lead to very expensive repairs needing to be done and can even lead to the weakening of your homes structure.
Most people don’t think of iguanas as nuisance wildlife, but these reptiles can cause plenty of problems. For starters, they are a health hazard as they carry salmonella and leave their waste in your home.
Iguanas are also known to damage gardens, which can be very annoying if you’ve spent hours or days perfecting your lawn. These animals eat all sorts of plants, from hibiscus to tomatoes. They also burrow in your yard, leaving gaping holes in front of your home.
Thankfully iguanas aren’t that hard to remove, and you can get rid of them by following some simple steps.
Sometimes the fastest way to get rid of wild animals is to kill them. This can be done through a variety of ways, like using lethal traps or shooting them. You should contact your local authorities before you kill any nuisance iguana, as killing iguanas may not be legal everywhere and there are local restrictions on how you kill them. Caution is strongly advised, as you may inadvertently harm other animals like pets.
Iguana removal is important, but it is a temporary solution. Unless you take preventative measures, they will return and continue causing mayhem. Removing Food Wild animals like iguanas are drawn to your home because of food. Your house provides them with a stable source of sustenance — something that’s difficult to find in nature. So you should remove these food sources to prevent them from entering your home.
Trapping iguanas is an effective and humane approach. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to do. You should place traps near the iguanas’ burrows and other places they visit in order to improve your chances of catching them. You can also use tomatoes, strawberries, and figs as bait. Calling Professionals Calling a professional is the best way to remove iguanas. It is guaranteed to work, and it will save you plenty of time and effort. Professionals can also advise you on how to prevent other wildlife from entering your home.
The easiest way to remove a Iguana from your property is to trap them. Iguanas typically enjoy a diet of insects and spiders so it is best to use them as bait when trying to trap a Iguana. Our Wildlife Experts will find the best trap that will be able to trap the Iguana and set it in a place that the nuisance wildlife has been seen. Once the Iguana has been caught, we will humanely remove the animal from your property.
