Does anyone out there have any method for repelling those pesky iguanas we have here in South Florida? (Broward Co.) I recently planted a butterfly and vegetable garden and the iguanas seem to think its their own buffet! Last year they ate all the straxberry plants, two gardenia bushes in pots and a few other "small" plants. They love the new growth. I tried pepper/hot sauce spray and soapy water. The hot sauce didn't do a thing. They soap water seemed to work, but with all the daily rain, I had to spray three times a day. My new gardens are too big for that. We live on a lake that is FULL of these creatures, and it is constant war. Is there any type of "scent" spray I can put around the garden to keep them out? Some of these guys are over 4 feet long head to tail, and they have already devoured my cukes and black eyed susans. I chased one off the maypop vine yesterday. I put a lot of time and money into my new gardens, and I really want to enjoy them before the iguanas have their way. I need help...
