Iguanas can turn your cozy outdoor sofa into their favorite lounging spot, leaving behind droppings and damage. Here’s how to deter them effectively:

1. Use Natural Repellents

Spray a mixture of water and cayenne pepper or garlic around your sofa. Iguanas dislike strong scents and will avoid the area.

2. Install Physical Barriers

Cover your sofa with a tight-fitting, heavy-duty cover when not in use. Alternatively, place chicken wire or mesh around the legs to block access.

3. Remove Attractants

Keep your patio clean—avoid leaving food scraps or fallen fruit nearby. Iguanas are drawn to easy food sources.

4. Motion-Activated Sprinklers

These startle iguanas with sudden bursts of water, training them to stay away from your furniture.

5. Regular Maintenance

Trim overhanging branches and shrubs near your sofa to eliminate climbing routes. Iguanas prefer areas with easy escape routes.

By combining these strategies, you can enjoy your outdoor space without unwelcome reptilian guests. Consistency is key to long-term success!
