Iguana Trapping - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Below is a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) that we often get about Iguana Trapping:
When Should Traps be Used to Catch Iguanas?
Trapping is usually one of the first ways that comes to mind when considering how to get rid of nuisance wildlife. However, depending on your situation a trap may, or, may not be the best choice. While it is true that traps can provide a way of catching iguanas there are certain times when using traps offers the best solution. For example, trapping services are typically best used in the following situations:
- As part of a multi prong removal strategy that supports the primary use of pellet gun for properties that have above average iguana populations.
- In locations that would dissuade the primary use of pellet gun such as inside buildings or on school grounds.
- When iguanas are in remote areas and/or in areas where access is prevented by barriers such as waterways / fences/ property line boundaries, etc.….
- When dealing with Spiny Tail Iguanas due to their dangerous and highly aggressive nature as well as their tendency to remain close to their burrow.
How long should an Iguana trap be used?
In order for trapping to promote the best chance for success; each trap contracted for service will be deployed for a minimum of three (3) or five (5) days depending on the situation. Additional time and traps are also available for contracting

Why Shouldn’t I Try to Trap an Iguana Myself?
Oftentimes many people think that Trapping that pesky iguana is a “do-it-yourself job”, but as they often times find out “the hard way” that just isn’t the case. People who attempt trapping on their own run a significant risk of injury to both themselves and/or the animal during the process. Not to mention the State of Florida has very strict laws in place for Trapping (types of traps allowed, which animals are permitted to be trapped, how often the trap must be checked, how to safely handle removing a trapped animal, what to do with the animal after it is trapped, what to do if you trap the wrong animal, etc.….) and people can very quickly find themselves in serious legal trouble if they don’t know or don’t follow the law. In short, it’s just not worth the risk to do it on your own. Instead, call us and let the professionals handle the situation.
Does Florida Law Allow Trapped Iguanas to be Released, Sold or Kept as Pets?
The very short and very clear answer is “NO”. Due to recent changes in Florida law, there is no longer an option to relocate, rehome, sell or keep a live iguana in the State of Florida. Per Chapter 68-5 F.A.C…. As of April 29, 2021 Iguanas (all species of iguanas) have been classified as a “high-risk nonnative Prohibited species” and has been targeted by the State for Eradication and Control in an effort to remove an entire population so as to minimize its spread and impacts. Because of these changes to the law; it is now illegal to transport, sell, relocate, release, export, etc….a live iguana anywhere in the State of Florida. As a result, any iguanas captured or trapped alive are required by law to be euthanized on site.
