Iguana Removal in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea — FAQ
Are iguanas a problem in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea?
Yes. Green iguanas are an invasive species throughout Broward County including Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. They damage landscaping, burrow under seawalls and foundations, and can transmit Salmonella.

Can I remove iguanas myself in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea?
Florida law allows homeowners to humanely remove iguanas on their own property. However, trapping requires proper technique — iguanas are strong, have sharp claws, and can transmit Salmonella. Professional removal ensures safe, effective capture and legal, humane disposal.

Exclusion methods include seawall barriers, cage protection for plants, and removing preferred food sources (hibiscus, roses, fruit trees). We provide written prevention recommendations after every iguana removal service in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Wildlife Questions
What pest problems do vacation rentals in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea face?
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea's active short-term rental market means properties turn over frequently with guests from across the country and internationally, creating elevated bed bug and cockroach introduction risk. Vacation rental operators should have proactive bed bug inspection and prevention protocols between guest stays, not just reactive treatment after a problem is reported. Monthly pest control service is essential for occupied rental properties.
Are no-see-ums (biting midges) a problem in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea?
Yes. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea's beachside and Intracoastal-adjacent properties experience no-see-um (Ceratopogonidae biting midge) pressure, particularly near tidal wetland margins and during warm, calm evening conditions. No-see-ums are too small for standard window screens — 20-mesh or finer screening is required for effective exclusion. Monthly barrier spray service during peak season reduces but does not eliminate no-see-um activity.
How do Intracoastal waterways affect mosquito pressure in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea?
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea's Intracoastal Waterway and connected tidal channels provide both salt marsh mosquito breeding habitat and sustained Culex mosquito pressure. The community's compact size means tidal influence is significant across the entire municipality. Mosquito barrier spray service applied monthly during April through November provides the most practical protection for residential properties and outdoor dining areas.
