Delray Beach is known for its vibrant Atlantic Avenue, pristine sandy beaches, and the charming downtown that buzzes with art and culture. Yet, even this lively coastal gem has its share of uninvited guests. Iguanas, raccoons, possums, Muscovy ducks, Egyptian geese, cane toads, and even coyotes are showing up where they are not welcome.
If you have spotted one of these critters lounging on your patio or rustling in your garden, you are not alone. SoFlo Iguana Pros offers professional, humane wildlife removal and prevention throughout Delray Beach, Florida. With years of local experience and proven methods, we protect your home and keep your piece of paradise safe.
The Wildlife Invasion in Delray Beach
Between the Intracoastal Waterway, Lake Ida canals, and lush tropical landscaping, Delray Beach provides perfect conditions for invasive wildlife to thrive. Here is how they are causing trouble.
Canal and Waterfront Activity
Delray Beach’s scenic canals and inlets attract iguanas, ducks, and geese in large numbers. Iguanas burrow into seawalls, weakening their structure. Muscovy ducks and Egyptian geese gather on docks and leave behind unsanitary droppings. Coyotes and raccoons wander along canals at night looking for food, while toads multiply in the damp areas around pools and gardens.
Garden and Landscape Damage
Lush lawns and colorful landscaping are part of Delray Beach’s charm. Unfortunately, they are also irresistible to pests. Iguanas eat flowers and fruit, raccoons dig up turf, and geese trample gardens. Possums raid trash cans and scatter debris across driveways. Even a single night of activity can leave behind a mess that takes hours to clean up.
Poolside and Patio Problems
Pools and screened patios are common in Delray Beach, and they attract unwanted guests. Iguanas often tear screens to enter, leaving droppings near the water. Ducks and geese leave feathers and waste on decks. Raccoons and possums may enter screened areas in search of shelter. These habits create health risks and property damage if not addressed quickly.
Roof and Attic Access
Large palms and ficus trees make it easy for wildlife to climb onto rooftops. Once there, raccoons or iguanas can pry open vents or tiles to find a nesting place. Noises in the attic or droppings near vents are signs it may already be happening.
Our Delray Beach Wildlife Battle Plan
SoFlo Iguana Pros combines humane techniques with detailed knowledge of Delray Beach’s environment to manage pests effectively.
Inspection and Evaluation
We begin by inspecting your property, checking for burrows, droppings, and entry points. We pay close attention to canal edges, pool areas, and rooftops where animals are most active.
Safe and Humane Trapping
We set traps that are safe for both animals and pets. Iguanas, raccoons, and possums are captured humanely and handled according to Florida wildlife regulations.
Species-Specific Strategies
- Iguanas: Baited traps and hand captures near seawalls and gardens.
- Toads: Removal of breeding areas and safe barriers to protect pets.
- Raccoons and Possums: Trapping, attic cleanup, and sealing entry points.
- Muscovy Ducks and Egyptian Geese: Humane capture and deterrents such as reflective barriers or low fencing.
- Coyotes: Monitoring, trapping, and improved fencing around properties.
Emergency Response
If a raccoon is trapped in your garage or an iguana is floating in your pool, our emergency team can respond quickly to remove the problem.
Protection and Prevention
We reinforce seawalls, repair attic vents, trim trees, and install deterrents that discourage wildlife from returning. Prevention is the key to keeping your property pest-free long-term.
Repair and Cleanup
Our service includes filling burrows, cleaning droppings, replacing damaged plants, and restoring any affected areas. Your home will be clean and secure once again.
