Iguana Removal on Fellsmere acreage
Fellsmere is rural far-western Indian River County, surrounded by marsh, the Stick Marsh and vast farmland — snake and armadillo country far more than iguana country. Where iguanas do appear, it is along the Fellsmere canals. Swift Wildlife removes them humanely before they burrow into the banks.
How iguanas use Fellsmere’s rural land
This is marsh-and-farmland country ringed by water management areas, so iguanas keep to the one steady feature that suits them: the Fellsmere canals. Homesteads with irrigated ornamentals near those channels draw the occasional iguana, but the surrounding marsh and ag land are not their habitat and pressure stays low.
Cold-blooded and sun-driven, an iguana out here basks on an open canal bank through midday, feeds on soft greenery, then digs a nesting burrow into the loose canal-side soil. Following the canal channels, it moves between properties along the water rather than crossing the open marsh.
Signs of iguana activity around your structures
On Fellsmere acreage these are the first tells to watch for — around the house, the barn, the shed and the ground between them.
Basking on the canal bank
You spot large iguanas sunning along a Fellsmere canal, sliding into the water as you draw near.
Burrows in the bank
Holes with mounded soil open where the canal bank meets your property, marking an iguana’s nesting tunnel.
Grazed ornamentals
Flowering shrubs and tender leaves near the canal show up chewed where iguanas have been feeding.
Damage to homes, barns & outbuildings
Left alone, iguanas don’t stay a small problem on acreage. Here’s what’s at stake across the buildings.
- 1
Bank & berm erosion
Iguana burrows honeycomb canal banks, pond berms and ditch edges, and the erosion undermines the water management a rural property depends on.
- 2
Foundation & structure burrows
The same burrowing runs under sheds, slabs and equipment pads, quietly undermining rural structures over time.
- 3
Stripped crops & landscaping
Iguanas strip garden produce, groves and ornamentals and foul the areas they frequent with droppings.
Safety risks for families, pets & property
Iguanas around a rural home bring real risks for children, pets and livestock — not just a nuisance.
Salmonella on surfaces
Iguana droppings can carry salmonella, left across docks, decks, garden beds and produce where family and pets go.
Bank collapse & footing
Burrowed banks and berms are a genuine collapse and footing hazard around ponds and canals on a working property.
Invasive, not relocatable
Green iguanas are a prohibited invasive species; Florida law lets us remove them year-round but they cannot be relocated and released.

Property hardening recommendations
Removing the iguana is half the work. These measures keep the next one off your Fellsmere property.
- Fill and screen any burrows along the Fellsmere canal banks before they widen.
- Replace hibiscus and similar favorites near the water with plants iguanas avoid.
- Add barriers along canal-side yard edges to discourage basking and digging.
- Keep fallen fruit and pet food cleared so nothing lures them to settle in.
