When a single from-$125 visit is all you need, when a from-$99/mo program pays for itself, and how to tell which side of the line your property falls on.
The question I get most on the free walk isn't 'how much' — it's 'do I really need the monthly thing, or can you just come out once?' Fair question, and the honest answer is that it depends entirely on whether your property refills after I clear it.
So let me lay out both, what each one costs with us, and how to read which one your Palm Beach County lot actually needs. I'd rather you buy the right thing than the bigger thing.
The one-time visit — from $125
A single visit is a clear-out on a given day. I come out, remove and trap what's there, deal with burrows and climb routes I can reach, and leave the property in far better shape than I found it. It's the right call for a genuine one-off — a stray or two, an inland yard, or a property with no water feeding new animals in.
Where a single visit disappoints people is when they use it on a heavily pressured waterfront lot and expect it to hold. It won't, and that's not a knock on the work — it's the waterline doing what it does.
The monitored program — from $99/mo
The program is the answer to the refill problem. Instead of one snapshot, it's scheduled service that keeps the population from rebuilding between visits — removal, trapping, and burrow work on a steady cadence, with the climb routes kept closed.
- Scheduled removal and trapping so numbers stay near zero instead of climbing every season.
- Ongoing burrow collapse, since females re-dig the same banks each spring.
- Climb-route checks on trees, pilings, and rip-rap so cleared ground doesn't get re-colonized.
- No lock-in — you stop when the pressure's genuinely handled.
The math nobody runs
Here's the trap. A waterfront homeowner buys single visits because each one looks cheaper than a program. But if the yard refills every six to eight weeks, they're buying four or five single visits a year and still never getting ahead of it. Add those up and the from-$99/mo program was the cheaper option the whole time — and it actually keeps the count down instead of resetting it.
On an inland lot with a true one-off, the opposite is true: a program would be paying for a problem you don't have. That's exactly the read the free walk gives you.
How to tell which one you are
A rough rule from years of doing this in the county.
- Back up to a canal, lake, or the Intracoastal? You're almost certainly a program property.
- Inland yard, one stray, no burrows? A single visit likely does it.
- Seeing them refill within a month or two of a clear-out? That refill is the program's whole reason to exist.
- Not sure? Take the free walk — I'll tell you straight which side you're on.
Questions we hear
Is the monthly program a contract I'm locked into?
No. There's no lock-in. The program runs as long as the pressure justifies it, and you can stop when the problem's handled. I'd rather earn the next month than trap you in a term you don't need.
Can I start with one visit and switch to a program later?
Absolutely, and plenty of people do. A single visit is a fine way to see the work and the results, and if the yard refills you already know the program is what your waterline needs. The free walk usually tells us up front, though.
Why would one visit not be enough on the water?
Because iguanas travel the waterline, and a neighbor's neglected seawall keeps sending fresh animals down the bank. A single clear-out is a snapshot; the water refills it within weeks, which is what the ongoing program is built to stop.
