(772) 227-1522 · answered live, 24/7Why iguanas are common in Jensen Beach
Jensen Beach runs from the Savannas Preserve out toward Hutchinson Island, so its homes sit between wet prairie and the Indian River Lagoon. Along that watery, well-planted stretch, green iguanas bask on lagoon seawalls and burrow into the banks. Swift Wildlife removes them humanely and protects the structures they threaten.
Iguanas find plenty in Jensen Beach: the lagoon frontage, the causeway waters and Warner Creek all give them warm banks to sun on and soft edges to tunnel into. The mature landscaping on the lagoon-front and beach-cottage lots supplies the flowering plants and cover these reptiles gravitate toward.
A cold-blooded reptile, the green iguana basks on a lagoon seawall or dock each morning before grazing the nearby greenery, then digs a burrow into the bank to nest. As a strong swimmer it works its way along the lagoon shoreline and Warner Creek, moving lot to lot along the water.
Early warning signs of iguana activity
On a Jensen Beach coastal lot, these are the first tells to watch and listen for — often on the water-facing side of the home.
Basking on the lagoon seawall
Large iguanas sun on your seawall or dock along the lagoon, dropping into the water the moment you appear.
Burrows in the bank
Fist-sized holes with loose soil open along the seawall or lagoon bank, signaling tunnels that undercut the structure.
Fouled dock and deck
Seed-flecked droppings collect on the dock and pool deck near the water, a salmonella concern where people gather.
Areas we commonly inspect for iguanas
On a Jensen Beach property, iguanas concentrate in a predictable set of areas — these are the ones we inspect first.
- 1
Lagoon seawalls & banks
Iguanas dig nesting burrows into the seawalls and soft banks of the Indian River Lagoon and canals — the signature waterfront threat here.
- 2
Docks, decks & pool areas
Sun-warmed docks, seawall caps and pool decks are basking platforms they return to every morning.
- 3
Waterfront ornamental landscaping
Irrigated hibiscus and other favored plants near the water are prime grazing and easy burrowing ground.
Property damage risks for Jensen Beach homeowners
Left alone, iguanas don’t stay a small problem on a Jensen Beach property. Here’s what’s at stake.
Undermined seawalls
Burrows hollow out the soil behind the cap, cracking the seawall and letting fill wash into the lagoon — a real structural cost.
Grazed landscaping & droppings
They strip ornamentals to stubs and leave seed-flecked droppings on docks and pool decks — a salmonella worry where families gather.
A prohibited invasive
Florida lists the green iguana as a prohibited invasive: removable year-round on your property, but by law never relocated and released.

Coastal tips to keep iguanas off your property
