Where iguanas cause trouble in Highland Beach
Bel Lido Isle is the classic case, a gated pocket of canal homes where the seawalls and boat docks get honeycombed with burrows. The oceanfront condo towers like Toscana and the Highland Beach Club run long landscaped grounds down to the Intracoastal, and the iguanas nest in those beds and along the bulkheads. Boca Highland at the south end near the inlet gets heavy pressure off the water. On a strip this narrow there's nowhere for them to go but the seawall and the manicured landscaping.
Most pressure in Highland Beach tracks the water — Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway. If your property backs up to any of it, burrowing and basking are almost certainly part of the picture, and the part that does the structural damage.
Atlantic Ocean seawalls
Iguanas bask on the cap at first light and dig dens straight into the bank until the wall starts to fail.
Burrows by foundations
Nesting burrows run under patios, driveways, and A/C pads — the hardscape settles and cracks above them.
Roofs, cages & lanais
They climb to bask on flat roofs and screens, then drop into pools and pool cages they can't climb out of.
Fruit trees & thick beds
Hibiscus, sea grape, and any fruit tree are both a buffet and a hideout right up against the house.
How we work in Highland Beach
It's almost entirely luxury condos and waterfront estates here, so the work is discreet and coordinated with building management or estate staff. We concentrate on the seawall burrows and the landscape beds that make these grounds worth protecting.
The method is the same one that earned our 5.0 across the county, and it stays inside FWC guidelines from the first walk to the follow-up:
- 1
Free property walk
We map the seawall, yard, and roofline to find the burrows, runs, and basking spots before we quote a dollar.
- 2
Humane removal
Reachable iguanas come off by hand and catch-pole — no poisons, no air-rifle theatrics near homes.
- 3
Monitored trapping
Traps go on the exact runs iguanas use, checked on a schedule and cleared promptly under FWC rules.
- 4
Prevention
Burrow collapse, tree wraps, and piling guards cut off the routes so the property stops refilling.
We cover the whole county.
Highland Beach is one of the cities we work end to end from our Lake Worth base. If your problem sits over a city line, pick the nearest one for its local rundown.
Every part of the job, in one place.
Removal is where most Highland Beach calls start, but the fix usually runs through trapping and prevention — and we handle the rest of the county's nuisance wildlife too.

Highland Beach iguana removal questions.
Got iguanas in Highland Beach?
Call or text Nick — he'll tell you what's going on and what it takes, straight.
Call (561) 735-1975We're an oceanfront condo association. Can you service the whole property?
Yes. Most of our Highland Beach work is with condo boards and management. We treat the full Intracoastal bulkhead and the landscaped grounds on one schedule rather than unit by unit.
Why is our seawall cracking where the iguanas dig?
Their burrows tunnel back under the cap and hollow out the soil, which lets the wall settle and crack. On a barrier island that damage adds up fast, so we target the den sites along the waterline.
How quickly can you reach Highland Beach?
We're up in Lake Worth, a straight run down the coast, so same-day service is realistic. Single visits start at $125 and monthly programs from $99, with a free property walk to scope it.
