Why Marinas Attract Iguanas
Water access, warm dock surfaces, and abundant basking spots make marinas ideal iguana habitat. Without management, they take over.
Dock Surface Damage
Iguana claws scratch and damage dock surfaces. Droppings stain and create slip hazards for boaters.
Boat Contamination
Iguanas climb onto boats, leaving droppings on decks, canvas, and upholstery. Boat owner complaints escalate.
Seawall & Piling Damage
Burrowing undermines seawalls and dock structures. Pilings are damaged by climbing and gnawing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you service individual boats?
Yes. Providers can offer additional attention to specific vessels that are having problems, either as part of the marina contract or billed to individual boat owners.
What time do you service?
Most marina service is early morning (5-8 AM) before boating activity. Providers can adjust for fuel dock operations and other scheduling needs.
Do deterrents really work on docks?
Piling wraps and smooth surfaces reduce iguana access significantly. Combined with regular removal, they're effective components of a management program.
What about iguana burrows in the seawall?
Seawall inspection and burrow treatment are included in comprehensive packages. Providers identify problem areas before they become structural emergencies.
