I have iguanas in back yard and they are a nuisance...how can I get rid of them without harming them?

Answer 1

Pour some Carbolic Acid (you can buy it from a chemist or hardware store) on the bounderies of your backyard- it's safe, reptiles just cannot stand the smell- they will go away.

Answer 2

How are they a nuisance, most full grown iguanas are very lazy and don't move a lot. If they are full grown and you really really can't stand them, then I recommend calling animal control, if they are babies, then I recommend trying to catch them, either bare handed or a trap that doesn't harm them so you can place them elsewhere. Babies do bite but it doesn't hurt at all. Full grown, wild ones bite too and that hurts. Good luck.

Answer 3

Animal control will remove them from the premises. You can also call your local humane society.

Answer 4

catch them if you can. if it doesnt work get animal control to get rid of them. but i think they like squash so try to lure them into a cage and close it after they are in it.

Answer 5

i have 1 and i would say don't approach them and if you do be protected, a full grown 1 can and will try to take a finger off!!!!!!!

Answer 6

would call animal control, dont try to approach them; if they become agitated they can be dangerous. Their tales are like knifes.

Answer 7

if its big like a giant iguana call pets control..but if babies just give them a bit of a stone throwin..they'll go

Answer 8
