Iguana Removal in Lake Park
Lake Park is a historic waterfront town along the Intracoastal Waterway where older homes and lush tropical landscaping face significant pressure from Formosan termites, palmetto bugs, and moisture-loving insects. The town's canal system and marina area create abundant mosquito breeding habitat throughout South Florida's long warm season. Consistent professional pest control is the best investment for Lake Park property owners.
Green iguanas are an established invasive species throughout Palm Beach County, and Lake Park properties are no exception. They damage landscaping, ornamental plants, and seawalls — their burrows can undermine foundations and hardscape. Florida Fish and Wildlife designates green iguanas a nuisance species. Palm Beach County Pest Controlprovides humane, legal iguana removal for Lake Park residential and commercial properties.

Iguana Removal in Lake Park — FAQ
Are iguanas a problem in Lake Park?
Yes. Green iguanas are an invasive species throughout Palm Beach County including Lake Park. They damage landscaping, burrow under seawalls and foundations, and can transmit Salmonella. Florida Fish and Wildlife designates them a nuisance species — professional removal is legal and recommended.
Can I remove iguanas myself in Lake Park?
Florida law allows homeowners to humanely remove iguanas on their own property. However, trapping requires proper technique — iguanas are strong, have sharp claws, and can transmit Salmonella. Professional removal ensures safe, effective capture and legal, humane disposal.

Lake Park Wildlife Questions
What are the most common pests in Lake Park homes?
Lake Park residents encounter American cockroaches (palmetto bugs) year-round, ghost ants in kitchens, subterranean and drywood termites in the town's older residential housing, roof rats accessing attics from dense vegetation, and mosquitoes near the Intracoastal Waterway and area canals. Lake Park's older housing stock carries elevated termite and cockroach risk.
Does Lake Park's older housing stock increase pest risk?
Yes. Lake Park has significant older construction with wood framing, original siding, and less-effective weatherstripping than newer homes. These characteristics create more entry points for cockroaches and rodents and more exposed wood for termites. Professional exclusion work combined with ongoing pest control programs addresses these structural vulnerabilities.
Are termites common in Lake Park?
Yes. Lake Park falls within Palm Beach County's high-termite-activity corridor. Annual WDO inspections are strongly recommended, especially for pre-1990 construction. Both Formosan subterranean termites (requiring liquid soil treatment) and drywood termites (requiring targeted or whole-structure fumigation) occur in the area.
