When you discover iguanas on your roof, burrows under your pool deck, or droppings in your lanai, you need more than just someone who can trap a few lizards. You need a professional wildlife control company that is fully licensed, properly insured, experienced with South Florida’s unique iguana behavior, and committed to permanent solutions rather than temporary fixes.
SoFlo Iguana Pros has built its reputation on exactly these foundations. As a locally owned and operated company based in Greenacres, we have focused exclusively on green iguana control and exclusion in Palm Beach, Broward, and Martin counties since 2018. Here’s why our licenses, insurance, and real-world experience set us apart from general pest control companies and out-of-state operators.
1. Full FWC Commercial Nuisance Wildlife Permit
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) strictly regulates the removal of green iguanas because they are an invasive species. Only companies holding a Commercial Nuisance Wildlife Permit are legally allowed to trap, remove, and humanely euthanize iguanas on private property.
SoFlo Iguana Pros operates under FWC Permit WB-23-00145. This permit requires:
- Background checks on all technicians
- Proper training in humane handling methods
- Accurate record-keeping of every animal and egg removed
- Compliance with all FWC rules regarding euthanasia and disposal
Many “iguana removal” companies you see online do not hold this permit. Working with an unlicensed operator can expose you to legal liability and ineffective results.
2. Comprehensive Insurance Coverage
Wildlife control involves working at heights, handling live animals, and sometimes entering confined spaces. Proper insurance protects both you and us.
Our coverage includes:
- General Liability Insurance ($2 million per occurrence)
- Workers’ Compensation for all employees
- Commercial Auto Insurance on all response vehicles
- Pollution Liability coverage (important when dealing with animal waste and biohazards)
We gladly provide proof of insurance before any work begins — something many smaller or unlicensed operators cannot do.
3. Years of Specialized Local Experience
General pest control companies treat iguanas like any other rodent or insect. We don’t. Green iguanas have unique behaviors in South Florida:
- They climb textured block walls and fences with ease
- They prefer digging burrows under pool decks, seawalls, and AC pads
- Females return to the same nesting sites year after year
- They are highly sensitive to temperature and tidal changes near the Intracoastal
Our technicians have removed and excluded iguanas from hundreds of properties — from waterfront estates in Jupiter and Palm Beach Gardens to golf course communities in Wellington and Boynton Beach. This local expertise means we know exactly where to look, which exclusion methods work best in local soil types, and how to satisfy strict HOA requirements.
4. Humane & FWC-Compliant Methods
We never use poisons or inhumane traps. Our methods follow FWC guidelines:
- Live trapping only when necessary
- Humane euthanasia on site for hatchlings and adults (required by FWC — relocation is illegal)
- Professional egg destruction (we never leave viable eggs behind)
- Physical exclusion using galvanized mesh, smooth anti-climb panels, and aluminum lips
All work is documented with photos and reports that can be shared with HOAs or insurance companies.
5. Permanent Exclusion — Not Just Removal
The biggest difference between SoFlo Iguana Pros and many other companies is our focus on prevention.
After removal, we install long-term barriers:
- 1/4-inch galvanized anti-hole mesh buried 18–36 inches with outward L-footer
- Smooth PVC or aluminum anti-climb panels on fences and walls
- Overhanging aluminum lips on block walls
- Pool cage and lanai reinforcement bands
Most clients report zero new iguana activity after the first 60–90 days. We back this work with a 5-year structural warranty on all barriers.
6. Transparent Pricing & Professional Documentation
We provide a clear, written quote before any work begins. No hidden “we’ll know more when we get there” fees.
Our quotes include:
- Exact scope of work
- Materials and labor breakdown
- Timeline
- Warranty details
After the job, you receive:
- Before-and-after photos
- FWC-compliant documentation
- Written warranty certificate
- Maintenance recommendations
This documentation is especially valuable for HOAs and property managers.
7. Community Trust & Reputation
We don’t buy reviews. Our 4.8-star average on Yelp and Facebook comes from real local customers — homeowners, HOAs, golf courses, and property management companies who have seen the results firsthand.
Many of our clients are referred by neighbors, HOAs, or previous customers because they saw the difference a professional, licensed, and experienced company makes.
