Pool & Deck Iguana Problems
Your pool area offers everything iguanas want: water, warm surfaces, and shade. Once they move in, they're difficult to remove without professional help.
Pool Contamination
Iguanas swim in pools and defecate in the water. Salmonella risk makes this a health concern, not just a nuisance.
Screen Enclosure Damage
Iguanas claw through pool cage screens to access your pool. Repair or replacement costs add up quickly.
Deck Surface Damage
Claws scratch pavers, travertine, and cool deck surfaces. Droppings stain and create slip hazards.
Landscape Around Pool
Tropical plants that frame your pool are devoured. Replacement becomes a recurring expense.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my pool safe to swim in with iguanas around?
Pool chemicals help, but iguanas carry salmonella. If you see iguana droppings in the pool, shock the pool and wait for chemical levels to normalize before swimming.
Can you fix my torn pool screen?
Service providers focus on iguana removal but can coordinate with screen companies and recommend providers who install iguana-resistant features.
Will removal keep them away permanently?
Ongoing service is usually needed in Florida's climate. However, combining removal with deterrents and landscape changes significantly reduces the problem.
What deterrents work around pools?
Providers use a combination of physical barriers, habitat modification, and strategic plant selection. Each pool area is different, so the approach is customized.
