BOCA RATON, FL -- Iguanas may have found their worst enemy. He's Boca Raton resident Mark Streisfeld. 

Tired of complaints and concerns, he invented Iguana-Rid. 

The eco-friendly, non toxic, liquid spray sold in local hardware and garden stores is flying off shelves. South Florida municipalities are now ordering it by the drum load. It works by smell and taste and so far the product has sent iguanas scurrying.

"It's a form of harassment and when they're harassed they go elsewhere, they're not to bright, sometimes it takes a few days to realize it but they will leave," says Mark Streisfeld, inventor of Iguana-Rid. 

Iguana-Rid also works on frogs, raccoons, snakes and other animals.
