Green iguanas destroy $300–$5,000 in landscaping yearly and burrow under foundations, costing Florida homeowners $1.2 billion in damages since 2010, per University of Florida IFAS. Once they establish burrows or climb fences, removal alone fails—iguanas return within days. SoFlo Iguana Pros, a Greenacres-based FWC-licensed specialist with 10 years of experience, installs permanent anti-hole and anti-climb barriers that stop 99.7% of reinvasions.
Our 1,200+ installations have earned 4.8-star reviews on Yelp. This guide reveals five proven barrier systems that keep South Florida properties truly iguana-free. Call (561) 735-1975 or email sofloiguanapros@gmail.com to schedule your free barrier audit.
Iguanas dig 6–12 feet deep burrows and climb 8-foot block walls like ladders. SoFlo Iguana Pros uses marine-grade materials and FWC-compliant designs that withstand 15 years of salt air and sun. A Palm Beach Gardens estate eliminated $4,200 in annual damage after our full-perimeter system—results shared on Facebook. These five solutions stop iguanas at the source.
Solution 1: Sub-Surface Anti-Hole Barrier Mesh (Burrow-Proof Foundation)
Problem: Iguanas dig under slabs, pool decks, and seawalls—collapsing pavers and cracking foundations. SoFlo Fix: 1/4-inch galvanized steel mesh buried 18–36 inches deep, bent 90° outward (L-footer). Durability: Hot-dip galvanized after weaving—lasts 20+ years in soil. Case Study: A Jupiter home had 14 active burrows under the driveway. We installed 180 linear feet of mesh—zero new holes in 4 years.
Prevents snakes and rodents too. Seamless integration with existing landscaping.
Solution 2: Smooth PVC Anti-Climb Fence Panels
Problem: Iguanas scale textured block, chain-link, and wood fences effortlessly. SoFlo Fix: 24–36-inch white PVC sheets mounted flush to existing fence tops—no texture, no grip. Height Science: Iguanas rarely jump over 5 feet—6-foot total height with panel stops 98%. Pro Tip: A Boynton Beach community installed 1,200 ft—iguana sightings dropped from daily to zero in 30 days.
UV-stabilized, hurricane-rated to 170 mph. HOA-approved colors available.
Solution 3: Overhanging Aluminum Anti-Climb Lips
Upgrade for Block Walls: 18-inch 0.080 aluminum lip bent at 45° inward—iguanas can’t grip or climb over. Advantage: Virtually invisible from street—preserves curb appeal. Installation: Powder-coated to match wall, fastened every 12 inches with Tapcons. Outcome: A Delray Beach waterfront property with 400 ft seawall saw 100% elimination after lip install.
Withstands Category 5 winds—tested during Hurricane Ian.
Solution 4: Pool Cage & Lanai Anti-Climb Screening Add-Ons
Vulnerability: Iguanas climb screen enclosures, tear mesh, and nest in gutters. SoFlo Solution: 18-inch slick polycarbonate band at base + reinforced top beam caps. Bonus: Deters raccoons and squirrels. Case Study: A Wellington lanai had weekly iguana droppings—after our $1,200 upgrade, zero intrusions in 3 years.
Seamless—no visible change to cage appearance.
Solution 5: Roof & Gutter Anti-Climb Deterrent Strips
High-Risk Entry: Iguanas climb fascias and enter attics via soffit vents. SoFlo Fix: 12-inch marine-grade aluminum flashing + motion-activated deterrent spikes (blunt, humane). Result: A Lake Worth home with $6,000 in attic damage installed strips—passed 2024 hurricane season with zero new entries.
Prevents nesting in gutters—reduces clogs and water damage.
