Know The Risk

Why Invasive Species Matter

Green iguanas and Muscovy ducks pose real, costly threats to Southwest Florida properties. Understanding the risk is the first step toward protecting your investment.

Green Iguanas

Seawall & Foundation Damage

Iguanas dig extensive burrow networks beneath seawalls, docks, and patios — undermining structural integrity and leading to costly collapse and erosion.

Landscape Destruction

Green iguanas devour ornamental plants, flowers, and fruit trees, stripping mature landscaping in a matter of weeks.

Pool & Hardscape Damage

Burrowing beneath pool decks and patios causes cracking, shifting pavers, and expensive structural repairs.

Sanitation & Health Concerns

Iguana droppings carry Salmonella and can contaminate pools, docks, and walkways, creating real sanitation risks for families and guests.

Rapid Population Growth

A single female can lay dozens of eggs per year. Left unmanaged, a small iguana problem becomes a full-blown property infestation.

Muscovy Ducks

Excessive Droppings

Large Muscovy flocks generate significant waste on docks, pool decks, and common areas — a persistent sanitation and slip hazard.

Unsanitary Water Conditions

Droppings accumulate in retention ponds and canals, degrading water quality in community lakes and waterways.

Aggressive Behavior

Muscovy ducks can become territorial and aggressive toward residents, guests, pets, and children, especially during nesting season.

Property & Common Area Damage

Flocks damage landscaping, gardens, and turf around clubhouses, pools, and community common areas.

Rapid Population Increase

Muscovy ducks breed prolifically and are not native to Florida, allowing populations to multiply quickly without active management.

The Root Cause

Why They're Here — And Why It's Getting Worse

Understanding how these populations took hold explains why a one-time fix rarely works, and why ongoing management matters.

Florida's Climate

Warm, humid conditions year-round mirror the tropical habitats both species evolved in, letting them thrive without a seasonal die-off.

No Natural Predators

Neither species faces meaningful predation pressure in Florida, removing the checks that would otherwise keep populations in balance.

Rapid Reproduction

Green iguanas can lay dozens of eggs per clutch, and Muscovy ducks breed prolifically — populations compound quickly without intervention.

Growing Populations

What started as isolated sightings decades ago has become an established, expanding presence across Southwest Florida communities.

Increasing Property Damage

As populations grow, so does the cumulative cost to seawalls, landscaping, docks, and common areas across the region.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most from Southwest Florida homeowners, HOAs, and property managers.

No. Green iguanas are an invasive, non-native species in Florida and are not protected under state law. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) actually encourages homeowners to remove green iguanas from their private property. All removal work should still be performed humanely and in compliance with FWC guidelines, which is exactly how our team operates.
