When it comes to iguana removal costs, there are numerous variables to consider, as the cost can vary significantly depending on the situation. Iguana removal costs can range from $90.00 for a simple removal to a couple of thousand dollars for more complex situations or recurring services in the case of infestations. The size of the property is also a key factor in determining the cost of the services, as homes, businesses, and Homeowner Associations all present unique challenges that require different approaches to effectively control iguanas. Moreover, we implement deterrent strategies to prevent iguanas from returning to your property. Below, we will outline various situations and how pricing can fluctuate depending on the circumstances.
Emergency Iguana Removal Costs:
In South Florida, the provision of 24/7 iguana removal services has become increasingly common. Iguanas have been found in unexpected places, to the extent that we are sometimes amazed at how they got there. For instance, we have encountered iguanas in toilets, requiring immediate removal, as well as in pipes, which can be more costly to remove as reaching the iguana in the pipe can be tricky and may require the use of endoscopy cameras. Additionally, there are occasional instances of iguanas in attics, where they may cause damage to the roofs and make them their new homes. In such situations, accessing and effectively removing the iguana may require climbing into the attic, which can be a difficult task, particularly in the extreme heat of the summer. Depending on the specific emergency situation of the iguana removal, the cost can vary.
Residential Iguana Removal Costs:
Iguanas in South Florida have caused problems for residential homes. They excavate burrows that contribute to the erosion of sea walls and rapidly consume landscapes. Each situation can become very expensive to fix or replace. When pricing out iguana control services for a home, we provide every possible essential strategy to achieve a positive outcome. Some of the strategies we implement include:
- Iguana burrow locating
- Iguana egg removal
- Iguana Removal by Snare
- Iguana removal by air pellet rifle
- Iguana clear wraps to keep iguanas from climbing Sea Walls or roofs from palms.
- Organic iguana deterrent sprays
- Trapping with correct size traps ( small, medium, large )
- Night Time Iguana removal for properties that have dense vegetation
- Landscape modification assessment (what plants do iguanas not eat)
Some homes might only have 2-3 iguanas, while others might have hundreds. Once we assess the property, we can better understand the extent of the infestation. Prices for homes may vary depending on the specific implementation of iguana control strategies needed.
Homeowners Beware
Ignoring the potential dangers of Iguanas on your property can not only be devastating to your wallet, but can compromise the structural integrity of your home. As an example the costs of damage can run into the millions as the residents of West Palm Beach found out. A recent news article estimated 1.8 million dollars in repairs of a dam that was breached due to Iguana burrows.
Now imagine that you have gotten rid of a few iguanas on your property. You think that is it and you are clear. No more need to worry, right? Wrong! There’s nothing stopping more Iguanas infesting your home, after all, they are a prevalent pest throughout South Florida. So, what is the answer? Regular monitoring for infestations is crucial for protecting your property from the dangers they pose. Taking this seriously and investing in a monitoring program can be the best decision you make to safeguard your property. We have low cost maintenance plans that ensure your property is protected from the dangers of Iguana infestations.
Iguana Removal Costs For HOA’s:
In Homeowners Associations (HOAs), our iguana removal services can be challenging due to differing opinions among residents about the removal of iguanas from their property. In addition, some members may prohibit shooting or traps, which may extend the removal process, only allowing it to be done with a pole snare. Nevertheless, we still offer all other alternatives for successful removal, as mentioned in the residential removal section.
Homeowner Associations often encompass many homes and dealing with an iguana infestation within such a large area can be quite challenging. It usually takes a significant amount of time, ranging from 3 months to a year, to effectively resolve the issue. We can provide guidance on how to effectively prune and trim overgrown vegetation around your property to dissuade iguanas from accessing your home. By managing the surrounding greenery, you can create a less hospitable environment for these animals, reducing the likelihood of them climbing onto your property.
Thus, the cost for our services for HOAs depends on what methods of removal are accepted by the board members or property manager, as this will determine the scope of work and the corresponding cost.
Iguana Removal Costs For Schools:
Removing iguanas from schools presents both advantages and disadvantages. Emergency removal can be done quickly, but removing iguanas from the outside of the school is usually done on weekends when children are not there. Although having iguanas around schools may be enjoyable for kids, it can also lead to negative consequences. Once iguanas have made the school their home, they can rapidly thrive and multiply, leading to potential issues. Iguanas are capable of laying 20-70 eggs a year, with mating season typically occurring from October through January and eggs being laid in burrows during spring. This breeding pattern may be influenced by the favorable climate and ideal terrain conditions. The presence of iguana burrows can pose bodily harm due to soft terrain, and iguanas may defecate in areas where children play, posing potential health risks. Overall, the best time to remove iguanas from schools is at night, when iguanas are sleeping on trees, or during the weekends when the premises are not occupied by children.
