Cape Coral residents fight the iguana takeover

Cape Coral, Fla. (WFLA) – Cape Coral neighbours are fighting a rare invasion: giant iguanas.

NBC’s affiliate Gulf Coast News reported that one home has been vacant since Hurricane Ian in 2022, and dozens of iguanas have arrived since then, and nothing seems to be of any use.

One neighbor, Rick Wheeler, said he had been killed over 20 people, but they continue to come back.

“You can always see 10 or 15 iguanas outside,” he told Gulf Coast News.

Green iguanas are invasive and are now thousands of people in South Florida. Like other invading reptiles, you can humanely kill iguanas with your property all year round.

Photos and videos show iguanas covering the outside property, wandering around on the roof, peeking through the windows from inside the house.

They’re not small either, either, Wheeler caught a measurement of about 6 feet long.

But the city says it doesn’t use taxes to address the issue, as it’s a nuisance rather than a public safety concern.

Neighbors are concerned that if nothing is left, the iguanas will be spreading to the neighborhood.

Fish and Wildlife Committee tips will help you stop the iguana from your property.

Remove plants that act like fruits and flowers, and fill in holes to reduce hanging wind chimes that make holes, or other items that create intermittent noise.
