Iguana Removal in Sewall's Point, FL
Green-iguana removal and burrow control for Sewall’s Point — we clear the baskers off your seawall, dock and pool deck, fill and screen the burrows undermining the bank, and protect high-value landscaping.
Why iguanas target Sewall's Point waterfront homes
Sewall’s Point is a narrow, heavily canopied peninsula with the Indian River Lagoon on one side and the St. Lucie River on the other — water and lush landscaping on every lot. That makes it prime iguana territory. These reptiles bask on the seawalls and burrow against foundations. Swift Wildlife removes them humanely and defends the structures they threaten.
With rivers flanking both shores of the peninsula, Sewall’s Point gives iguanas almost continuous seawall to sun on and bank to dig into. The upscale waterfront homes here are wrapped in mature tropical plantings, so basking ledges, food and burrowing soil all sit within a few feet of the foundation.
A cold-blooded reptile, the green iguana warms itself flat on a seawall cap each morning before grazing the surrounding greenery, then retreats to a burrow dug against the seawall or foundation. As a strong swimmer it slides between the lagoon and river sides, moving lot to lot along the water’s edge.
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.
Basking on the seawall
Large iguanas line the seawall or dock in the morning sun, dropping into the lagoon or river the moment you step out.
Burrows at the foundation
Fist-sized holes with loose soil open along the seawall or right against the house, marking tunnels that undercut the structure.
Droppings on the deck
Seed-flecked droppings gather on the dock and pool deck near the water, a salmonella concern where the family gathers.
High-risk areas for iguanas on an estate
On a Sewall's Point estate, iguanas concentrate in a predictable set of high-value areas. These are the ones we protect first.
Seawalls & canal 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.
Designed landscaping
Ornamental beds and the soft ground along slabs are prime grazing and burrowing ground.
What iguanas cost a Sewall's Point estate
Undermined seawalls
Burrows hollow out the soil behind the seawall cap, accelerating erosion and cracking — a five-figure repair if ignored.
Cracked slabs & pool decks
Burrows driven under slabs, pool decks and walkways pull out supporting soil and crack the finish over time.
Destroyed landscaping
They graze expensive ornamentals to stubs and foul docks and pool decks — a salmonella worry by the water.

Long-term protection from iguanas
Removing the iguana is half the work. These measures keep the next one off your Sewall's Point estate.
- Fill and screen burrows at the seawall and foundation before they hollow out the structure.
- Replace hibiscus and other iguana favorites near the water with resistant plantings.
- Install seawall guards on both the lagoon and river sides to block basking and digging.
- Keep fallen fruit and pet food off the ground so nothing draws them to stay.
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 Sewall’s Point waterfront lot its burrows hollow out seawall and bank soil until the cap cracks and fill washes out — 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
