Built in Fort Lauderdale, for Florida yards.
ReptilesAway started the way a lot of Florida projects do — with an iguana problem on a seawall and nothing on the shelf that felt right to put down. So we made our own: a granular powder, five ingredients you can read, no spray, no contract.
Yosef Ishaki, founder.
Yosef Ishaki is the founder of ReptilesAway. He lives and works in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where the reptile problem is not theoretical — it is on the seawall, in the garage, on the window, and in the mulch bed, every single season.
The company started with a problem in his own yard and nothing on the shelf that felt right to put down. Iguanas on the seawall. Lizards in the garage. Frogs on the glass. Something in the mulch bed he didn't want to look at twice. The cans off the shelf didn't last, and the sprays didn't hold up on a hot seawall in the South Florida sun.
Yosef tried the cans off the shelf first. Then he tried the big pest-control companies — the contracts, the monthly bill, the eleven-minute walk-around. Everything came right back. The iguanas returned to the same basking spot on the seawall. The frogs came back to the same lit window. The contracts renewed whether the problem was solved or not.
So he built something that actually worked and tested it the only honest way there is: on his own house, season after season, until they were gone and stayed gone. Neighbors asked. Then their neighbors asked. It went out as FrogsAway — and once the calls turned into iguanas, lizards, and snakes, it became what it really was: ReptilesAway.
The principle is simple. Buy it and do it yourself. No contracts, no runaround, no poison you're afraid to let your kids near.

A repellent, not a contract.
ReptilesAway is a granular reptile and amphibian repellent — not a spray, not a fogger, not a contract. It is a dry powder you shake or spread along the lines reptiles travel: foundation lines, seawalls, fence lines, pool cages, doorframes, garden beds, and AC pads. One application lasts two to three weeks.
Five ingredients are listed on every bag: sodium chloride, citric acid, lemongrass oil, peppermint oil, and garlic oil. The formula is formulated as an EPA FIFRA 25(b) minimum-risk pesticide — made only from ingredients on the EPA's minimum-risk list, so it is exempt from federal registration.
ReptilesAway repels — it does not kill. The granular band makes the routes reptiles and amphibians travel unpleasant, so they reroute off the property over a few days without harm. That distinction matters to homeowners who don't want poison on the lawn where their kids and pets play.
We believe in five listed ingredients, in a method you can run yourself, and in not locking people into twelve-month plans for a problem that takes a few weeks to solve. If it doesn't work for you, contact us within 30 days of delivery for a full refund of the product price. That's the guarantee.
Treatments across South Florida.
ReptilesAway is based in Fort Lauderdale and the treatment crew operates across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. Treatments are priced by quote after a property walkthrough — one-time or recurring, your choice. No contracts, no twelve-month plans.
Book a single treatment and decide later whether you want another. Recurring service is available if it suits your property, never required. The powder ships anywhere in the continental US for those who prefer to run the band themselves — free shipping on orders of $100 or more, a flat $8.95 otherwise.
