Are you telling us that iguanas are fungible?

You could also try a motion activated sprinkler, they seem to keep most small animals away.

.22 Cal at 1000 fps should do the job with a head shot. A friend had one. Impressive for what it is. He used it for armadillos and opossums.
I'm sorry I laughed.
You and your human-privilege
Iguanas are eaten by a variety of natural predators; hawks, owls, snakes and humans.
No iguana is safe from a pack of dogs, so get yourself a pack of guard dogs.
Maybe you should do the ecological right thing and get yourself a couple of falconer ladies with an owl and a hawk and start a Iguana meat restaurant exporting business.
if I lived in an Inner city I would use a suppressed .22 cal. Pistol or rifle firing from above to prevent collateral damage. If not suppressed, only shoot once. The civilians won’t know which direction it came from. But if suppressed, it needs to be registered or your doing 10 years playing house with Bubba.
Almost hit a 3 foot one while driving on a Mexican road.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Squatting on you deck might not please your neighbors - but it may get those lizard pigeons off your property!
So they are the opposite of most strippers and hate loud music and shiny objects? Just throw a stripper party in your back yard and the lizard pigeons will run away faster than a stripper when you tell her your broke.
@ime if you read my original post I've tried moth balls these lizards laugh at them as well as the pellets from my air soft,
@justintitolook I'm a bit afraid to try a .22 on my deck, it's travertine marble and a ricochet could end up across the lake and into a neighbor's home.
@whodey I'm considering those motion activated sprinklers that posted that might be a workable solution.
Iguanas need love, just like the rest of us... :p
Yeah, but those moth balls are so tiny, and the moths hate giving them up.....
Get some iguana repellant https://www.amazon.com/BuyBlocker-Natura…
I just read they hate garlic. Cook some Cuban food for them
Pro tip for you stop liking your own posts it's stupid and you said a while back that the thumbs down was juvenile, we can now see who liked and who disliked, so stop the act, like you're better than everyone else, you aren't.
They're nasty fuckers.

Speaking of pool enclosures we lost the screen enclosure a number of hurricanes back I believe it was Willa and had some job getting the insurance company to reimburse us and lately the cost of insurance has gotten obscene here I remodeled the entire patio and pool and fenced it in which is actually much more attractive than the screen enclosure and untill this latest invasion was fine, what I’m thinking of doing is using low voltage electric wiring like is used to keep nuisance birds off roofs around the perimeter to keep the iguanas off my pool deck and patio
I know they taste like chicken lol
Shooting them with a pellet gun just makes them run off and jump in the lake I don’t think it even breaks the skin as I have not seen any blood after hitting them with a pellet and I usually find the pellet on the floor where I shot them

I'd be curious about the battery powered electric fence option. I've seen them take zaps from the horse fences and about half the time they scurry off but the other half they scurry through. Those obviously have much higher voltage but also much larger openings.

Obviously I need to make this into a track with a second strand at about 3 inches that should turn them around rather than go over it
I'll keep you informed if it works
I was chatting with ricktheiguana this one time and he said this guy offered him all sorts of goodies if ol’ rick would stop the other neighborhood iguanas from shitting in the guy’s years. My bud rick was totally reasonable about getting all of the neighborhood iguanas to treat that guy with kit gloves. No more yard shit!
Of course, rick did fuck the guys wife. But what would you expect? She was a hot 21 year old trophy wife and rick was... well, he was a frickin’ rick! ROAR!!!
Or trap them and sell them as pets. Make tacos out of them and sell them. Or something.
But i got your back we can still be niggaz
Anyhoo... 25 plus the iguanas could be an unstoppable source of humor. Check this: you ring your neighbor’s doorbell and walk away. Iguana 🦎 hangs out and craps on your neighbors head. You get a video of that shit and it’s America’s funniest home videos material. ROAR!!!
