Pest Alert: Fig Whitefly

Recently, a new pest was
reported attacking ficus trees
and hedges in Miami (through
Palm Beach), Florida.  This
pest was identified as the fig
whitefly; these insects typically
feed on the underside of leaves
with their “needle-like” mouthparts. Whiteflies can seriously injure host plants by sucking juices from them causing wilting, yellowing, stunting, leaf drop, or even death.

Does your seawall or backyard look like this?
 
A Growing Dilemma
  • §Iguanas have been imported as pets for many years
  • §In the past decade, many have escaped or have been released and have now claimed South Florida as their home
  • §Due to our subtropical climate and lush gardens around our homes, the Iguana’s have thrived with virtually no natural predators
  • §They also reproduce fast; a single female adult can lay up to 30 eggs at a time
Problems. . . JP Miller - Pest Control, Iguana Control, Broward, Palm Beach Counties
  • §Iguanas get to enjoy our back yards more than we do. . .
  • §And when we want to go outside, we have to deal with their droppings all over our boats, seawalls and patios. . .
  • §Our expensive plants become their salads
  • §And their burrows (homes) undermine sidewalks, seawalls, and foundations
  • §They are carriers of  salmonella, and are dangerous to other animals
Solutions?
  • §Several options are available, not all are prescribed for every situation. . .
  • §Avoid planting vegetation that Iguanas prefer §
  • §Fill burrows with concrete and sand
  • §Have JP Miller custom design their Iguana Deterrent System to keep them off your property  - this is a JP Miller Trade Secret and is patent pending; give us a call to setup an appointment to go over options.

  • Live trapping does not produce the best results due to the hundreds of iguanas that replace the ones caught and the cost involved for a temporary fix
