How to get rid of lizards without killing them
Lizards control the insect population, thus chasing them out
is preferable to poisoning or killing them. Check out these tips for keeping
lizards out of your home.
Lizards are typical household companions. Because these
little reptiles keep the insect population in check, it's advisable to chase
them away rather than poison or kill them. If you are terrified of lizards,
having one in the living room may be unsettling.
House geckos are the common name for house lizards. These
little geckos are not poisonous and pose no threat to people. Let's face it: no
matter how much people say lizards are harmless, they're still regarded as
creepy crawlies.
Here
are some methods for getting rid of lizards at home:
Check out these home methods for lizard removal that you can
use in your own home.
Place
an onion or garlic in often visited corners.
Regularly
air out cabinets
Check under-sink cabinets on a regular basis and attempt to
keep those dry (use newspapers to line the base, and change them often). As an
added bonus, this will help to prevent wood rot and extend the life of your
cabinets.
Naphthalene
Balls should be used.
Lizards, and many other types of pests, will be scared away
by naphthalene balls. Keep them out of reach of youngsters and out of reach of
animals.
Using
Empty Eggshells
Lizards loathe the odor that eggshells emit. Place the
eggshells in areas of the house wherever lizards are frequently spotted.
They'll avoid any areas that smell like eggs.
Cayenne
Pepper Spray
Black pepper can be used to make a pepper spray at home.
Make a powder out of it and mix it with water. Pepper spray causes a burning
feeling on a lizard's body, which deters them.
Get Rid
of Open or Leftover Food
Exposing food attracts lizards and aids in their
reproduction in your home. Never leave leftover food out in the open. Leftover
food draws flies and ants, which also attracts lizards indirectly because
lizards eat insects.
