5 Highly Effective Ways To Get Rid Of Lizards From Home.

Lizard Control And Extermination From Homes

Lets now look at various ways, how we can control lizard infestation and finally get rid of them from our homes:

1. Move furniture

Common house geckos look for dark spaces to hide during the days. Natural hiding spots are behind furniture, under the bed, and in the narrow areas behind photo frames. Make it a routine to move your furniture around. Clean the spaces behind your frames of cobwebs. Lift your floor furniture to check if the lizards are hiding underneath. This activity must be done once every month so that the lizards avoid such spaces to hide in the future.

2. Tabasco sauce spray

Lizards are averse to the smell of Tabasco sauce. Mix two tablespoons of this sauce with one liter of water. Pour the mixture into to spray. Use liberally on the walls, ceilings, and corners, where you usually find lizards at night. The smell of this sauce mixed with water vapor, will keep them away for some time. Repeat this process, as and when you spy them on your property.

3. Garlic

The strong and pungent smell of garlic does not go well with lizards. They would prefer to stay far away from this odor. Keep cloves of garlic near the areas infested by lizards. You could also get the juice extracted from the cloves, mix with water and spray the ceiling and crevices, where lizards haunt. This pungent odor will keep the lizards at bay till the smell diminishes.

4. Onion

Lizards can’t stand the strong smell of onions. Slice pieces of onions and place them near window and door entrances, thro’ lizards frequently enter. You can also extract the onion juice, mix with water and spray on the walls, ceiling, and behind photo frames, where lizards usually are found. Onions contain sulfur, which exudes this smell and is an irritant to the geckos.

5. Cayenne Pepper

Cayenne pepper is a good repellant against lizards. Mix crushed pepper with warm water thoroughly, place in a spray and use in the areas where lizards get typically seen. After the water vapor evaporates, the pepper residue stuck to the walls, ceiling, and corners are irritants to lizards. This will keep them at bay till the power of the pepper vanishes. While using this spray outdoors, you may have to use this regularly, since the pepper residue may get washed away due to rain and dew.
