Based in Hollywood, SWAT Pest Squad assesses iguana activity around homes, landscaping, pools, roofs and waterfront properties across Broward and Miami-Dade.
Iguanas can create persistent problems in South Florida landscapes and outdoor spaces. We assess the affected areas and discuss removal or management options suited to the property. The layout, access, and activity level help determine the approach and whether ongoing management should be considered.

THE SWAT SERVICE PLAN
Iguana Removal & Prevention
We assess iguana activity around roofs, landscaping, pools, patios, seawalls, and other outdoor areas. The site layout and activity determine the removal approach and whether habitat changes or exclusion can help. New iguanas may enter from surrounding areas after removal.
01 / SERVICE PROCESS
Inspect the Property
We review areas where iguanas gather, travel, or shelter and look for relevant damage, droppings, and burrowing activity. Roof or attic concerns are assessed separately from yard activity.
02 / SERVICE PROCESS
Develop a Removal Plan
The plan is selected according to location, access, and activity. Trapping or other appropriate management methods are discussed for the site, along with the service scope and monitoring needs.
03 / SERVICE PROCESS
Exclusion & Habitat Changes
Recommendations may include securing vulnerable roof access, repairing screens, trimming vegetation that provides access, and adjusting landscaping or protective barriers. We explain which measures are practical for your property.
04 / SERVICE PROCESS
Assess Cleanup Needs
When activity affects an attic or enclosed space, we assess contamination and damaged materials. Cleanup and restoration options are quoted according to the location and conditions rather than assumed necessary for every outdoor sighting.
UNDERSTAND YOUR QUOTE
What Affects Iguana Removal Cost?
A useful quote starts with the property and the activity. Tell us where you see iguanas, how often they return, and whether the concern involves a yard, pool deck, roof, dock or seawall. Access to the affected area and the extent of the work help define the service.
Location and access: roof access, waterfront edges, gates and other site conditions.
Activity and service scope: repeated sightings, affected areas and the management approach discussed for your property.
Additional work: whether exclusion, barriers, cleanup or monitoring should be quoted separately.
Ask what is included in the proposed visit, whether monitoring is recommended, and what any further visits would cover. A removal quote should make those details clear before you book.
SWAT Pest Squad completed iguana removal and exclusion work at a property in Dania Beach. The service included both removal and exclusion work, rather than removal alone.
For your property, we discuss the activity, access and proposed exclusion work before quoting. Tell us where iguanas appear and whether the problem keeps returning.
Before & After: Soffit Exclusion

The answer depends on your property and the activity. Tell us whether this is an isolated sighting or a recurring issue. We can discuss a defined removal visit or an ongoing management approach; removal does not stop new iguanas from arriving from surrounding areas.
Are cleanup and exclusion included in the removal price?
Confirm the scope in your quote. Removing an animal, addressing access, adding barriers and cleaning affected areas are different tasks. We discuss which apply to your property so you can understand the proposed work.
Can new iguanas return after removal?
Yes. Surrounding habitat can support new activity, so some properties benefit from ongoing monitoring or management.
Can you help around a pool or waterfront property?
We can assess these areas and discuss options based on access, layout, and the activity you are experiencing.
