Where iguanas cause trouble in Pembroke Pines
The gated developments off Pines Boulevard and Sheridan Street are where we get most calls. Pembroke Falls and Pembroke Isles have miles of interior lakes with sloped, seawall banks that iguanas dig into, and the C-9 canal on the north side feeds animals in from the water-management system. Chapel Trail backs onto the nature preserve and its wetland canals, so homes there see steady pressure from the west. Silver Lakes and the Grand Palms golf lakes round out the recurring spots.
Most pressure in Pembroke Pines tracks the water — Community lakes & retention ponds, C-9 canal, Chapel Trail wetlands & preserve canals, Golf-course lakes. 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.
Community lakes & retention ponds 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 Pembroke Pines
This is mostly single-family and gated HOA property with lake frontage, plus golf-course communities that manage long stretches of bank. We handle one-off removals and set up HOA lake-bank programs so the same lawns and seawalls aren't dug up again a month later.
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.
Pembroke Pines 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 Pembroke Pines calls start, but the fix usually runs through trapping and prevention — and we handle the rest of the county's nuisance wildlife too.

Got iguanas in Pembroke Pines?
Call or text Nick — he'll tell you what's going on and what it takes, straight.
Call (561) 735-1975Do you cover all of Pembroke Pines?
Yes, from the 33024 corridor east of I-75 out to the 33029 gated communities near the preserve. We schedule Broward routes rather than promise same-day, since we're based in Lake Worth.
Why do iguanas keep coming back to our community lake?
The sloped banks and seawalls give them easy burrow sites and basking spots right next to landscaping they like to eat. A single removal clears the current animals, but a monthly program is what actually keeps a lake bank down long-term.
What does a first visit cost?
Single visits start at $125, and ongoing programs start at $99/mo for recurring lake-bank work. We'll do a free property walk first so you know what you're dealing with.
