Iguana removal in Tequesta, FL
Tequesta wraps around the Loxahatchee River at the north end of the county, and the river frontage is where iguanas dig in. It is a longer run from Lake Worth than the mid-county towns, but we still schedule same-day when the morning is open.

Where iguanas cause trouble in Tequesta
The Loxahatchee River banks are the main draw. Tequesta Country Club homes along the water get burrows in the riverbank and iguanas basking on docks and seawalls. North Passage, a gated Intracoastal community with waterfront access, sees them along the canals and boat basins. River Ridge, sitting east of the North Fork against Jonathan Dickinson State Park, gets iguanas moving in from the wild edge into landscaped yards.
Most pressure in Tequesta tracks the water — Loxahatchee River, Intracoastal Waterway, Atlantic Ocean. 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.
Loxahatchee River 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 Tequesta
The property mix is gated riverfront and Intracoastal communities plus single-family homes on the water with docks and boat lifts. We trap along the riverbank and seawall lines and pay attention to burrows under docks, since the soft river soil lets them dig deep.
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.
Tequesta 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 Tequesta calls start, but the fix usually runs through trapping and prevention — and we handle the rest of the county's nuisance wildlife too.

Call (561) 735-1975Do you come this far north to Tequesta?
Yes. We are based in Lake Worth, so Tequesta is a longer drive, but we cover it and can often still do same-day if you call in the morning.
Iguanas are burrowing into my Loxahatchee riverbank. Is that a problem?
The soft riverbank soil lets them dig long burrows that erode the bank and undercut docks and seawalls. We trap the animals and show you where the tunnels are so you can shore it up.
How much does it cost?
Single visits start at $125, monthly programs from $99/mo for ongoing riverfront pressure, and the first property walk is free.
