When you think of pest control, you may think of chemicals being sprayed throughout your property. This is a traditional method we refrain from using, why? Because we care about our ecosystem and our native species. Using harsh chemicals can impact the environment and may even impact native wildlife. By implementing a more holistic approach to pest control, we can help our environment and keep our native animals safe. Iguana pest control consists of using methods that do not require harsh chemicals, this method not only keeps our native species safe, but it also keeps humans and pets free from unnecessary toxins. Using traps and pole snares is our approach and the success of these methods have shown very positive results. This eco friendly method is also a great way to remove iguana infestations from local schools while keeping kids and staff safe.
Traditional Pest Control Vs Iguana Pest Control
For many years, traditional chemicals have been used to exterminate various types of pests and rodents. But using chemicals to eradicate iguana infestations is illegal due to iguanas being protected by anti cruelty laws. Plus, chemicals are not needed to properly remove iguana infestations from your residents. Our non traditional approach has shown very positive results for all types of properties. When iguana infestations are a major problem, our iguana control approach can completely eliminate the infestations by using proper iguana control strategies. Methods such as trapping with pole snares can capture hundreds of iguanas monthly as we have documented throughout our years in service. This is a very non-invasive strategy which does not impact local wildlife if done correctly. For example, using traps instead of traditional methods in areas where wildlife is not present can help prevent trapping native animals such as raccoons or possums. Also, using proper bait is imperative which can be done by using local food resources that iguanas feed on such as flowers from bougainvillea plants will target only iguanas.
Humane Iguana Trapping:
To effectively catch iguanas, it is crucial to utilize live capture traps to prevent any unnecessary harm or distress to these fascinating reptiles. These traps work by opening the front door and placing bait such as greens, fruits, or flowers behind the floor latch mechanism. When the iguanas’ step on the latch, the door closes behind them. Repeating traps is another great approach to capture multiple iguanas at once, these traps do not have trap doors. Once iguanas pass through the swivel door, it swivels closed, allowing multiple iguanas to enter at a time. Depending on the size and severity of the iguana infestation on your property will determine the quantity and types of traps that will be used. it is important to consider the use of live traps for effective and humane capture. Throughout our years in service this method has been a very humane approach to capture iguanas while protecting South Florida’s ecosystem.
Night Time Pest Control
During our attempts to remove iguanas, we learned that providing Night Time Pest Control was much more beneficial for certain properties. Mostly properties with lots of trees and heavy landscaping. During the day locating iguanas can become difficult due to their ability to camouflage to their surroundings. Iguanas are active during the day meaning they will be eating from certain plants and sunbathing on your roof or around your swimming pool. As soon as the sun sets, these reptiles will begin to climb trees to sleep. This is where we come in to accurately locate them using our bright led lights. This method has been very promising and clients have shown much appreciation due to other failed attempts from previously hired iguana removal companies. This pest control technique has helped many schools as well! Servicing schools can be tricky due to kids and staff being active on school grounds. At night schools are empty which gives us the upper hand to properly remove iguanas from their grounds. Night time iguana removal services have been able to eradicate hundreds of iguanas.
Eco Friendly Approach:
The deterrent methods used in iguana pest control are eco-friendly, which is beneficial for our ecosystem. When using deterrents, we apply natural oils and herbs which are tastes that iguanas don’t like. Spraying an organic mixture around your home and on plants that iguanas eat can help keep them away and prevent damage. It’s important to note that certain plants should be carefully sprayed and monitored to avoid burning or drying out certain ornamental plants. Our holistic approach included methods such as hand captures and pole snares which minimizes the disturbance that traditional methods may create to the surrounding environment. Also, by avoiding the use of heavy gas powered machinery to spray deterrents, you can help keep pollution to a minimum. Our trained iguana technicians use hand pump spray tanks to apply organic deterrents.
Human & Pet Safety:
Humane iguana control loves your pets and they love us as well. Being a family owned company we know the importance of keeping your family & furry friends safe! When implementing chemical-free iguana pest control, we prioritize the safety of humans and pets. It’s important to consider that children and pets are naturally curious and love to play outdoors. However, having a garden filled with pesticides is not safe for your children and can harm your pets. Therefore, using a pest control company who uses the traditional chemical approach may have negative consequences. Certain chemicals can harm people and pets due to chemical burns, this non organic approach may also impact your health. Employing a more humane approach helps avoid these potential hazards, which aligns with our main goal of ensuring the safety and well-being of both humans and pets.
