Three iguana problems in one city
Boynton Beach is really three iguana problems in one city. The Intracoastal and the Boynton Harbor Marina district see seawall and dock pressure. The big 55-plus communities — Leisureville, Sterling Village, Hunters Run — have miles of retention-lake bank where iguanas burrow and graze the lawns, and that's a lot of shared ground to keep clear. West of Congress it's newer subdivisions backing onto the E-4 Canal, Lake Eden, and the preserves.
The ZIPs track it: 33435 near the water and downtown Ocean Avenue, 33426, 33436, and 33437 running west into the communities and canal-backed subdivisions like Chapel Hill.
Community-scale work
Because so much of the work here is community-scale, we build monitored programs for the associations and one-time clear-outs for individual yards, all FWC-compliant. On a big community lake we start with a walk of the bank to map the burrows and runs, then mix removal, monitored trapping, and bank work to bring the numbers down and keep them there.
- Retention-lake bank mapping at Leisureville, Sterling Village, and Hunters Run
- Scheduled monitored trapping with association reporting
- Marina-district seawall and dock-piling clearing
- Canal-edge prevention on the E-4 west of Congress
Documentation the board can hold
For an association, the paper trail matters as much as the work. We keep service records and reporting the board or management office can hold on file, so the community can show residents the problem is being handled.

Common questions
Do you work with Boynton's 55-plus and golf communities?
Yes. Communities like Leisureville and Hunters Run have long stretches of lake bank that need ongoing monitoring, and we run scheduled programs with documentation for the association.
There are iguanas all over our community lake. Where do you start?
With a walk of the bank to map the burrows and runs, then a mix of removal, monitored trapping, and bank work to bring the numbers down and keep them down.
Do you cover the marina and downtown area?
We do — the Intracoastal seawalls and dock pilings around the Boynton Harbor Marina district are steady iguana territory.
