Iguana attacking!

Iguana attacking! Iguana attacking! Iguana attacking! Iguana attacking!
🦎 Iguana attacking! your plants...

Q: I am having a hard time keeping iguanas eating everything! Any solution to keep them out?

Iguanas may become quite a problem in the garden. Our first suggestion would be - get a Duck as we have (Duck Dobi), she is so dominant and keeps any wild animals away from the property, including gators... and cats! They are scared of her! Dobi thinks she owns the place.

Here are a few other ways to control iguana problem in your backyard:

  • ✅ Rid your lawn of dropped fruits. Iguanas love fruit. And they love low-hanging fruit or fruit that's easy to get to. If you have fruit trees, take the time to pick up your yard and dispose of any dropped fruit.

  • ✅ Keep a lid on a garbage can. Put your garbage cans in a place they can't get to, or put a cinder block on your can lid.

  • ✅ Do not leave pet food out. If you're putting a bowl of dog food or a plate of cat food out for your pets, you're inviting iguanas into your yard.

  • ✅ Fill iguana holes. Iguanas like to dig. Wherever you see a hole, fill it. Stuff rocks into the hole first, then fill it with dirt and top it with sod. The iguana may return to dig again, but he won't dig through large rocks.

  • ✅ Do NOT feed the iguanas. Don't be friendly with them, so they won't come back.

  • ✅ Wire netting around plants. You can use wire netting or screens to prevent iguanas from entering plants and shrubs.

  • ✅ Spray them with a hose. When you see an iguana in the yard, spray them with the hose. They also hate loud noises. Constant "harassment" can keep them from returning.

  • ✅ Keep your yard clean. Excessive overgrowth or yard storage are great places for iguanas to hide.

  • ✅ Do not leave food out, unattended. Iguanas are mainly herbivores but that doesn't mean they won't smell something good and want to eat it. They will TRY anything.


Hopefully these tips help keep your iguana problems to a minimum!
