Where we see activity in Broward County

Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood intracoastal seawalls
Plantation and Weston golf communities with lakes and berms
Pompano Beach marinas and residential canals

Hatching increases in late summer; cool fronts push iguanas to sunny seawalls and pool cages.

Common property impacts

Burrows beneath dock pilings and pavers loosening structural support
Clogged pool filters and AC drain lines from shed skin and droppings
Vegetation stripping on hedges that border canals or golf lakes

Prevention tips

Schedule quarterly inspections of seawalls and riprap for fresh burrow holes.
Cover dock lines and boat wiring where iguanas frequently climb aboard.
Plant iguana-resistant species near water (e.g., citrus, oleander, milkweed).

Plan your response

Combine prevention with quick response from local iguana teams to keep damage low in Broward County. Use this guide to brief property managers, HOA boards, and tenants.

Document burrow locations along seawalls, berms, or docks before heavy rain collapses them.
Schedule seasonal sweeps during nesting months so juveniles are removed before dispersal.
Ask providers about humane removal methods and repair plans for undermined soil.
