Jensen Beach is coastal living at its best — lagoon-front and canal homes, beach cottages, and outdoor rooms built for the water and the sun. That same warmth, water and lush landscaping is exactly what draws iguanas, raccoons, roof rats and more onto your property. We protect the home and the outdoor lifestyle that brought you here.
(772) 227-1522 · answered live, 24/7The things that make Jensen Beach a great place to live are the same things wildlife looks for. Warm coastal air, the Indian River Lagoon and canal water on every side, and decades of lush tropical landscaping add up to year-round food, water and shelter — steps from your door. Understanding that pull is how we get ahead of it.
A mild, humid, barrier-island climate means no real off-season — iguanas bask, rodents breed and raccoons forage right through the year.
The Indian River Lagoon, Warner Creek, canals and seawalls give every animal a drink, a travel route and, for iguanas, soft banks to burrow into.
Decades-old palms, sea grape and dense ornamental beds are climbing routes to the roof and cover to den in on beach-cottage and waterfront lots.
Pool decks, outdoor kitchens, grills, pet bowls and fruit trees are an open buffet that keeps raccoons, rodents and opossums coming back.
Snowbird and vacation homes sit quiet for months, giving wildlife an undisturbed run at an attic, soffit or crawlspace before anyone notices.
The best-protected Jensen Beach homes belong to owners who know what to watch for. This is the local homeowner education competitors leave out — the signs, the behavior, the inspection tells and the weak points that matter on a coastal lot.
Scratching overhead at night, iguana droppings on the dock or pool deck, cone-shaped holes in the lawn, gnawed soffits, a shed snake skin by the pool pump — the first tells that turn a small fix into a big one if missed.
Coastal wildlife works a route between water, food and shelter and returns to a proven spot night after night. A raccoon that found your attic, or an iguana that found your seawall, will keep coming back until the way in is closed.
Walk the water-facing side first. Check the roofline and soffits, the seawall and bank, screened lanais and pool cages, the crawlspace and the utility penetrations — the coastal weak points, not just the room where you heard the noise.
Salt air and sun age soffits, screens and vents faster here, and seawalls and docks add entry and burrow points inland homes never have. Those are the openings we find and seal.
On a Jensen Beach home, wildlife concentrates on the same handful of weak points — whether you front the lagoon, a canal or a landscaped street. This is where our inspection focuses, and how exposed each area typically runs on a coastal lot.
Tile and shingle roofs, valleys and eaves are the highway raccoons and roof rats travel after climbing a palm or sea grape onto the structure.
The warm, quiet attic — often quietest in a seasonal home — is the destination for denning raccoons, nesting roof rats and roosting bats.
Lush beds, fruit and the lagoon or canal seawall draw iguanas to bask and burrow and armadillos to root right at the water’s edge.
The sheltered space beneath a raised beach cottage, deck or lanai is prime shelter for opossums and snakes crossing from the water and beds.
Gaps under and around garage doors are a standard entry for rodents and opossums after stored feed, pet food and dry shelter.
Sheds, pool-equipment enclosures, docks and outdoor kitchens give wildlife cover and food away from the house — and a foothold toward it.
These are the animals the Jensen Beach coast delivers most often — plus the whole-home exclusion that seals them out. Each has its own dedicated local page: how it behaves on a coastal lot, the damage it does, and exactly how we remove and seal it out.
Work waterfront food and mature landscaping into attics and soffits — the classic coastal-home intrusion, worst in spring.

Explore this serviceIn Jensen Beach the yard is a second home — the pool, the patio, the outdoor kitchen and the dock. Those spaces are also where wildlife and people cross paths most, so protecting them is its own job, not an afterthought.
Iguanas foul pool decks and snakes rest in warm equipment enclosures. We remove them and screen the cage and pump-house gaps they use.
Screened lanais and patios are sheltered pathways toward the roof for raccoons and cover for snakes. We seal the frame gaps and torn screens.
Grease, scraps and stored food draw raccoons, rats and opossums nightly. We remove the animals and cut off the access and attraction.
Iguanas bask and burrow along docks and seawalls, undermining the structure. We clear them and pack and screen the burrows.
Fire pits, boat lifts and shoreline beds collect cover and food. We treat the whole waterfront edge, not just the house.
Prevention on a coastal lot is a plan, not a one-time trap. We build it around four moving parts — so the protection keeps holding against salt air, seasonal vacancy and water on every side.
We map the water-to-home routes and, on seasonal properties, keep an eye on the quiet months when wildlife has an undisturbed run at the structure.
A full-property inspection covers every coastal weak point — roofline, seawall, lanai, crawlspace and utility penetrations — to find where wildlife actually gets in.
We seal every gap in galvanized steel and hardware cloth — the roofline, vents, crawlspace and seawall — so removal actually lasts, backed in writing.
Salt, sun and settling open new gaps faster on the coast, so we advise on the landscaping edge and re-check the seal season to season.
Wildlife pressure on the coast shifts through the year. Here is the season-by-season forecast for a Jensen Beach property — so you can get ahead of what’s coming instead of reacting to it.
Denning & nesting peak: raccoon litters move into attics and lanai structures, and iguanas dig nesting burrows into seawalls and lagoon banks. Bats return ahead of maternity season.
Peak coastal activity: iguanas bask heavily on the seawalls, roof rats breed in the tropical landscaping, and afternoon rains soften turf for armadillo lawn damage. Snakes follow prey through the beds.
The move indoors: cooling nights push rodents and raccoons toward warm attics, and storm season opens fresh roofline gaps on older coastal roofs — a high-risk stretch for new intrusions.
Shelter-seeking & snowbird season: rodents and raccoons press into attics for warmth as seasonal homes fill back up, and a hard cold snap can cold-stun iguanas off the seawalls onto decks and lawns.
Representative situations from across Jensen Beach — the challenge a homeowner faced, what we did, and how it held. Names and exact addresses stay private; the pattern is what matters.
A lagoon-front family heard thumping and spring chirping overhead — a raccoon had climbed a sea grape to an aging soffit and denned with kits in the attic.
We hand-removed the kits and reunited them with the mother in a release box, cleared the latrine, and sealed the soffit and roofline in steel.
No further activity, a decontaminated attic, and a sealed roofline — backed by our written re-entry guarantee.
A canal-side homeowner had recurring attic scratching and gnawed wiring; roof rats were climbing tropical palms onto the tile roof.
We trapped out the colony, trimmed the palm routes off the roof, and sealed the roofline and vent gaps with steel — poison-free.
The attic stayed quiet through the season, and the sealed entries kept the neighborhood’s rats from moving back in.
A waterfront owner noticed loose soil and a cracking cap along the lagoon seawall, with large iguanas basking each morning and burrowing into the bank.
We removed the baskers, filled and screened every burrow, and added guards at the favored basking ledges to break the routine.
The undermining stopped before the wall failed, and an iguana-resistant planting swap kept the seawall from drawing them back.
A beach-cottage owner found guano staining the lanai and eaves; a small bat colony was roosting through a fascia gap and feeding over the lagoon at dusk.
We timed a lawful one-way exclusion around maternity season, sealed the fascia and ridge, and remediated the guano safely.
The colony relocated on its own, the roofline was sealed for good, and the lanai was cleaned and protected.
Protecting a coastal home is different from chasing one animal. It takes local knowledge of how the lagoon and landscaping move wildlife, humane methods you can trust around family and water, and a fix that actually lasts in the salt air.
We know these lagoon-front and canal lots, beach cottages, seawalls and tropical landscaping — where wildlife actually gets in on a Jensen Beach property.
Mothers and young stay together, native snakes and protected bats are handled by law, and we exclude and seal rather than poison — safe around family, pets and the water.
We seal entries in steel and hardware cloth and back the work in writing, so the problem is solved for good — not moved to the next lot.
A real person answers 24/7, same-day service is standard across Jensen Beach, and we watch seasonal homes while owners are away.
Humane, guaranteed in writing, and built for the coast — the wildlife team Jensen Beach residents trust.
