Where iguanas cause trouble in Wellington
The equestrian neighborhoods — Palm Beach Point, Saddle Trail, Grand Prix Village — get burrows along paddock berms and canal banks that are genuinely dangerous around horses. The canal network throughout Wellington gives iguanas a route into almost every backyard. Family communities like Olympia and Versailles see retention-lake and lawn pressure.
Most pressure in Wellington tracks the water — C-51 Canal, equestrian-community canals, Wellington Environmental Preserve, Lake Wellington. If your property backs up to any of it, burrowing and basking are almost certainly part of the picture, and the part that does the structural damage.
C-51 Canal seawalls
Iguanas bask on the cap at first light and dig dens straight into the bank until the wall starts to fail.
Burrows by foundations
Nesting burrows run under patios, driveways, and A/C pads — the hardscape settles and cracks above them.
Roofs, cages & lanais
They climb to bask on flat roofs and screens, then drop into pools and pool cages they can't climb out of.
Fruit trees & thick beds
Hibiscus, sea grape, and any fruit tree are both a buffet and a hideout right up against the house.
How we work in Wellington
During season the equestrian properties want the work done quietly and safely around horses and staff. We're careful on those sites, and we treat burrow collapse as the priority it is when livestock are involved. Off the equestrian side, it's standard community and single-family work.
The method is the same one that earned our 5.0 across the county, and it stays inside FWC guidelines from the first walk to the follow-up:
- 1
Free property walk
We map the seawall, yard, and roofline to find the burrows, runs, and basking spots before we quote a dollar.
- 2
Humane removal
Reachable iguanas come off by hand and catch-pole — no poisons, no air-rifle theatrics near homes.
- 3
Monitored trapping
Traps go on the exact runs iguanas use, checked on a schedule and cleared promptly under FWC rules.
- 4
Prevention
Burrow collapse, tree wraps, and piling guards cut off the routes so the property stops refilling.
We cover the whole county.
Wellington is one of the cities we work end to end from our Lake Worth base. If your problem sits over a city line, pick the nearest one for its local rundown.
Every part of the job, in one place.
Removal is where most Wellington calls start, but the fix usually runs through trapping and prevention — and we handle the rest of the county's nuisance wildlife too.

Wellington iguana removal questions.
Got iguanas in Wellington?
Call or text Nick — he'll tell you what's going on and what it takes, straight.
Call (561) 735-1975Iguana burrows are a danger around my horses. Can you help?
Yes, and we treat it as a priority. Collapsed burrows under paddocks and arena edges are a real injury risk. We remove the iguanas and collapse and pack the burrows properly.
Do you work around the equestrian properties during season?
We do — quietly and on a schedule that works around horses, staff, and events. We've worked the Palm Beach Point and Saddle Trail areas.
Do the canals make it worse in Wellington?
They're the main highway. Iguanas travel the C-51 and community canals and burrow into the banks. Prevention along the canal edge is a big part of keeping them out.
