Iguana removal in Ocean Ridge, FL
Ocean Ridge sits between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, with water taking up nearly half the town. Two of its pockets are islands dredged out of the waterway, so seawall burrowing is the whole ballgame here.

Where iguanas cause trouble in Ocean Ridge
Inlet Cay is the one we get out to most, a dredged island where every lot is seawall and the iguanas den straight into the bulkhead. Crown Colony Club and Pelican Cove back onto the Intracoastal with landscaped banks the animals tunnel into and browse. Down by the Boynton Inlet the riprap and the edge of the Ocean Ridge Natural Area hold a steady population that pushes north into the yards along Old Ocean Boulevard. Between the inlet and those dredge islands, the waterline is one long den site.
Most pressure in Ocean Ridge tracks the water — Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway, Boynton Inlet. 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 Ocean Ridge
This is quiet, residential estate and condo country with no commercial strip to hide in, so the pressure lands on private seawalls and grounds. We work the bulkhead burrows and the Intracoastal landscape edge, coordinating with owners and boards to keep it low-key.
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.

Ocean Ridge iguana removal questions.
Got iguanas in Ocean Ridge?
Call or text Nick — he'll tell you what's going on and what it takes, straight.
Call (561) 735-1975My home on Inlet Cay backs right onto the water. Is that why the iguanas are so bad?
Yes. On a dredged island every lot is seawall, and iguanas den directly into the bulkhead and the bank. We focus on those waterline burrows, since that's where they're coming from and where the damage starts.
Do you treat the landscaping too, or just trap?
Both. Removal is only half of it. We also address the landscaped Intracoastal banks in places like Crown Colony and Pelican Cove where they nest and feed, so the yard stops drawing them back.
What's the response time and price for Ocean Ridge?
We run down from Lake Worth, so same-day is usually fine. Single visits start at $125, monthly control from $99, and the initial property walk is free.
