I highly recommend Wildlife Commanders! I live on a canal, so there’s a massive population of iguanas that kept venturing into my yard. The problem got even worse when I planted some flowers, my newly planted landscaping became an unlimited salad bar for them! I hired Wildlife Commanders to help, and the team was excellent, responsive, and friendly. They captured around 20 iguanas, and their efforts have made a noticeable difference and successfully kept many of the iguanas away. 10/10 recommend.
