Iguana Removal in Lakewood Park, FL
Green-iguana removal and burrow control for Lakewood Park’s lakefront lots — we clear baskers, disrupt the burrows undermining your bank and seawall, and protect your landscaping.
Why iguanas are common in Lakewood Park
Lakewood Park sits inland north of Fort Pierce, so iguana pressure here is lighter than it is on the coast. Where these reptiles do turn up, it is around the neighborhood retention lakes and the banks of Five Mile Creek. Swift Wildlife removes them humanely before a small pondside gathering becomes a burrowing problem.
This is a wooded, lake-dotted community rather than a seawall town, so iguanas concentrate on the sunny edges of the retention lakes and along Five Mile Creek. A few well-watered yards with hibiscus and other flowering ornamentals give them the greenery they favor, but the pressure stays modest.
Cold-blooded and sun-driven, an iguana here will bask on a rock, dock or bare pond bank through the warm part of the day, then dig a burrow into the soft lakeside soil to nest and shelter. They drift between ponds by following the swales and creek that thread the community.
Green iguanas are a prohibited invasive in Florida — they can’t be relocated, so on-site removal and burrow control is the only lawful fix.
Signs of a iguana problem in Lakewood Park
In Lakewood Park, these are the signs it's time to call — before the damage spreads.
Iguanas on the pond bank
You notice large reptiles sunning on the retention-lake bank or a nearby rock, sliding into the water as you approach.
Burrows in the lakeside soil
Fresh holes with mounded dirt appear along the pond edge or under waterside shrubs where an iguana has tunneled to nest.
Chewed ornamentals
Hibiscus blooms and tender new leaves near the water disappear overnight, nipped clean by feeding iguanas.

Call for same-day service · (772) 227-1522The green iguana is a prohibited invasive
Florida lists the green iguana as a prohibited species. You can have them removed from your property year-round, but by law they can’t be relocated and released elsewhere. Along Lakewood Park’s lake banks a single female can lay dozens of eggs, so the problem compounds fast if it’s left alone.
- Removable year-round on your own property
- Cannot legally be relocated & released
- Handled humanely under FWC rules
Keeping iguanas away from Lakewood Park homes
Removing the iguana is half the work. These steps keep the next one out of your Lakewood Park home.
Fill and screen any burrows dug into the retention-lake banks or creek edge before they spread.
Replace hibiscus and other iguana favorites near the water with plants they tend to leave alone.
Add barriers or fencing along the pond bank to discourage basking and nesting.
Clear fallen fruit from yard trees and keep pet food inside so nothing draws them in.
If wildlife returns through a spot we sealed, we come back at no charge. Satisfaction Guaranteed — If our exclusion fails, we take responsibility.
What iguana burrows do to a lakefront lot
Undermined lake banks & seawalls
Iguanas dig nesting burrows into soft lake-bank and seawall soil. Left alone, those tunnels erode the bank and can destabilize the wall behind it.
Chewed landscaping
They graze ornamental plants, flowers and young palms down to stubs, and their droppings foul docks, decks and pool cages along the water.
Foundations & pool decks
Burrows driven against slabs and pool decks pull out supporting soil, so concrete can crack or settle over time.
