Non of the sprays I have known have worked put a bb gun does.

AFAIK, the only things that work well are a machete, a bb gun, or an invasion of coyotes. Really sorry they've made it to your neighborhood, Sharon.

In SE FL there are iguana specialists you can hire, but I don't think they have any other resources than the ones I mentioned, unless you want to make a distinction between a pellet gun and a bb gun.

Wouldn't it be great if squirrels, armadillos and iguanas would prey on each other? A girl can dream...

They’re awesome. I have garrabos and iguanas here.

Unless you can introduce a predator, you’re unlikely to get rid of them.

No, I would not like to have injured or dead squirrels, armadillos, or iguanas in my garden.

Well, unfortunately, if you are growing food for consumption, you either let the iguanas have it or you get rid of the iguanas.

Sharon, I'm curious whether you have any dogs?? Iguanas are deathly afraid of them.

I hear they're quite tasty. I'm all for the pellet gun. I heard giving them a quick spray in the face with vinegar burns their eyes (they recover) and makes them go away for awhile, but they come back. If you keep it up, they won't come back. Of course, it would need to be a strong sprayer, do you don't have to get too close to them.

Wondering if they could be trapped?

Yes indeed Carol,..es posible', as we say down south ( way, way down south !! ) Check out Havahart,..have done it so I know it works ! :o)

By the way, the invasive reptile experts say that dogs should be wary of these iguanas. From their website :

Apparently, iguanas stunned by the cold snap are falling out of trees and laying in hibernation, dying or dead on the ground where dogs find and play with or eat them. The results have proven fatal for many of the canines. According to the Miami Herald, bacteria on the iguanas crusty skin leads to botulism poisoning.Feb 16, 2010

this is my current situation as they have taken residence in my mango and avocado trees. They have destroyed or simply do not allow certain plants to blooms in my yard...eating the leaves as they sprout. What I am doing is slowly removing and replacing plants they do love out of my garden..i.e cladiums. I am replacing those plants with those they seem to ignore, work in progress. Plants i find that they ignore are bulbine, ornamental grasses, angelonia, portulaca, cannas, gladiouls, allamanda, russian sage, society garlic, anything with thorns, strong scents etc...still learning and making those adjustments. I hope this is helpful for you

When we went to the Fairchild Gardens for the mango festival a couple of years ago there were no iguanas in sight. This year, we were surprised to see them in the new residence,lol. Some of them were so big that from far looked like a baby alligator. There were also smaller sizes in groups, I did not see them eat anything but I am sure that they do. If I had the same problem I would ask the people that works at the Gardens what they do to keep them under control.

I love my squirrels and the armadillos are only a bother when they cause my sister's dogs next door to raise a ruckus and somehow i get to be the one at 2 am to figure out how to get the dillo out of the fenced in yard. I've not had to deal with iguanas yet. I'm surprised cause englewood and boca grande are not very far away and they have had iguana. Boca grande has had them longer than 10 years tho.

ritaweeda, yes I have a dog.... a collie..... but he isn't going to chase it..... a bird yes, a butterfly yes, a boat going by on the intracostal you bet.... but the Lassie never saw one of these things, and my dog isn't about to get close to it.... I don't iguanas are native to where collies come from. He does stand and barks at it, but if it moves he runs away..... though I think that is a good thing. I have heard as joyfus said, it has been reported the bacteria on these ugly creatures can be fatal to dogs.

Pea, beware the armadillos. They can carry leprosy.

We also have Nile monitor lizards in Florida. They like to eat cats and small dogs.

Its not like i am petting the dillos merely guiding them with a broomstick to the gate. Btw dillos jump...don't lean over a dillo cause they might break your nose if they jump...and they jump when startled and they have bad eyesight.

back when i was in High school those monitors were around specifically in Cape Coral, the like the canals.

I warn you this is not funny, but when I was in Curazao long time ago I was invited to a buffet party and what was the favorite dish? iguana!

And of course I did not eat it, but they all were asking to try, it was roasted, bbq, stew, etc and they said taste it like chicken.

Well, no! I am a very adventurous veggie eating but not adventurous at all eating meats I don't know...
