Iguana Removal in Ocean Breeze, FL
Green-iguana removal and burrow control for Ocean Breeze — we clear the baskers off your seawall and dock, fill and screen the burrows undermining the lagoon bank, and protect the landscaping they graze.
Ocean Breeze, FL Why iguanas are common in Ocean Breeze
Ocean Breeze is a small riverfront community pressed hard against the Indian River Lagoon beside Jensen Beach. On its tight waterfront lots, green iguanas bask along the lagoon shoreline and burrow into the banks. Swift Wildlife removes them humanely and keeps the seawalls and edges they threaten intact.
Ocean Breeze sits right on the Indian River Lagoon, so iguanas have warm shoreline and seawall to sun on within steps of the homes. The compact, closely-spaced lots keep basking ledges, plantings and burrowing soil all bunched near the water, giving iguanas a tidy little foothold along the lagoon edge.
A cold-blooded reptile, the green iguana warms up on the lagoon seawall or a dock each morning before feeding on nearby greenery, then digs a burrow into the soft bank to nest. A strong swimmer, it follows the lagoon shoreline from one waterfront lot to the next.
Signs you may have iguana activity
On Ocean Breeze’s close-set lots the early signs are easy to miss — these are the ones to watch and listen for.
Basking by the lagoon
You see large iguanas sunning on the seawall or dock along the lagoon, sliding into the water as you step outside.
Burrows in the bank
Fist-sized holes with loose soil open along the lagoon bank or seawall, marking tunnels dug to nest and shelter.
Droppings on the deck
Seed-flecked droppings gather on the dock and patio near the water, a salmonella concern in these tight waterfront yards.
Areas we commonly inspect for iguanas
On an Ocean Breeze property, iguanas concentrate in a predictable set of areas — these are the ones we check first.
-
Seawalls & lagoon banks
Iguanas dig nesting burrows into the soft soil behind the seawall and bank — the signature waterfront threat on these lagoon lots.
-
Docks, decks & seawall caps
Sun-warmed docks, seawall caps and decks are basking platforms they return to every morning.
-
Waterfront landscaping
Hibiscus and other tempting plants near the water are prime grazing, and the beds are easy burrowing ground.
Property risks & damage from iguanas
Left alone, iguanas don’t stay a small problem on these compact lots. Here’s what’s at stake.
Undermined seawalls
Burrows hollow out the soil behind the cap, cracking the wall and letting fill wash out — on a small lot the undermining shows fast.
Grazed landscaping & droppings
They strip ornamentals to stubs and leave seed-flecked droppings on docks and patios — a salmonella worry in tight waterfront yards.
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.
