Iguana Removal in Jupiter Island, FL
Green-iguana removal and burrow control for Jupiter Island — we clear the baskers off your seawall, dock and pool deck, fill and screen the burrows undermining the bank, and protect specimen landscaping.
Why iguanas target Jupiter Island estate properties
Jupiter Island is an exclusive barrier island where estates sit in dense coastal hammock between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic. Wildlife moves freely from the neighboring refuge into these yards, and green iguanas are among them, basking on seawalls and burrowing along the Intracoastal. Swift Wildlife removes them humanely and guards the structures they threaten.
Iguanas thrive on Jupiter Island because the Intracoastal frontage gives them warm seawalls to bask on and soft banks to dig into, while the surrounding hammock and refuge land offer endless cover. The heavily vegetated estates put food, basking ledges and burrowing soil right against pool cages and foundations.
Being cold-blooded, a green iguana suns itself on a seawall or dock each morning before grazing the lush landscaping, then digs a burrow into the Intracoastal bank or against a foundation. A strong swimmer, it uses the waterway and shoreline to slip from one oceanfront estate to the next.
Hidden signs of a iguana problem
On an estate, the early signs are easy to miss — these are the ones we look for before the damage spreads across the compound.
Basking on the seawall
Large iguanas sun on your Intracoastal seawall or dock, dropping into the waterway the instant they sense you nearby.
Burrows along the bank
Fist-sized holes with loose soil appear along the seawall or against the foundation, marking tunnels that undercut the structure.
Fouled pool cage and deck
Droppings collect around the pool cage and deck near the water, a salmonella concern in these outdoor living spaces.
High-value areas iguanas target on an estate
On a Jupiter Island estate, iguanas concentrate in a predictable set of high-value areas. These are the ones we protect first.
Seawalls & banks
Iguanas dig nesting burrows into the soil behind seawalls and banks — the signature waterfront threat.
Docks, decks & pool areas
Docks, seawall caps and pool decks are basking platforms they return to daily.
Specimen landscaping
Designed and mature ornamental beds are prime grazing and burrowing ground.
The damage & financial risk of iguanas
Undermined seawalls
Burrows hollow out the soil behind the seawall cap, accelerating erosion — South Florida seawall repairs commonly run $10,000–$50,000+.
Cracked slabs & pool decks
Burrows driven under slabs, pool decks and walkways pull out supporting soil and crack the finish over time.
Destroyed specimen landscaping
They graze expensive ornamentals to stubs and foul docks and pool decks — a salmonella worry by the water.

Removing the iguana is half the work. These measures keep the next one off your Jupiter Island estate.
- Fill and screen seawall and foundation burrows before they weaken the structure.
- Replace hibiscus and other favored plants in the landscaping with iguana-resistant species.
- Install seawall guards and pool-cage barriers to block basking and burrowing.
- Keep fallen fruit and pet food cleared so nothing keeps them around.
Every exclusion is backed by our written re-entry guarantee.
A prohibited invasive that undermines your seawall
Florida lists the green iguana as a prohibited invasive: it can be removed year-round on your property, but by law it can never be relocated and released. On a Jupiter Island waterfront estate its burrows hollow out seawall soil until the cap cracks — so we clear the baskers, fill and screen every burrow, and cut off the ledges and plants drawing them back.
- Removable year-round — never relocated
- Seawall & bank burrows filled and screened
- Basking sites & grazing plants addressed
