How to get rid of lizards

[silverpal]

Hi,

I am having a lizard problem in my house. The problem is so bad that there are lizards as big as my palms running around.

I tried putting sticky traps with food but it did not manage to catch any lizards. I have a lot of cockroach traps (for my cockroach problem) which the lizards ignore.

I tried the Milo tin lizard trap, but that is very inefficient (1 lizard at a time) and totally disgusting.

Anymore ideas how to kill them all?

Hi,

I don't want to call in a pest buster because when I spend money and time getting those guys to come over, they usually cannot find the lizards. I end up paying them to look at my interior design instead.

Cat? I never knew that cats eat lizards. Do they really eat the lizards?

Hamster, I don't think I'll allow hamsters to run around my place, especially if I'm to keep a cat.

Repainting the walls, do I need special anti bacterial paint?

can u spot the lizard????
Previously, i used to spray the whole can of insecticide, but it's still not dead and i ended up got to mop n clean the area of spray.
Then, For my case now, when i spot it on ground level or wall, i take a cup of hot water n pour over it. Settle once n for all.
Then sweep it away and mop the Water only, not dirty unlike other methods.

Did you put mothball around the house?

lizard can be your friend also. It helps to eat mosquitoes, ants and houseflies. :ahmcio:

I have lizards in the house too.. Usually not much of a prob unless they go into plastic bags to pinch on the food...which I seriously hv no idea how they do it. My dad said, he used to catch lizards when he was young and the way he do it is just using cotton... cos the lizards have sticky tongue and when they stick to cotton, they can't get rid of it and when they try to, they fall off the wall... not sure if this will help

I kind of want a way to exterminate them and not have to constantly spray them when i see them. It only kills the 1 that I see and not get rid of them once and for all

No I don't. Is that good or bad?

The problem is that the lizards have become a nusance and started stealing food.

Hi, this looks promising. How do I entice them to try to lick the cotton?

[Gunners]

there is an anti-lizard spray available in NTUC
buy and spray at area that have lizard to chase them away...

works like mosquito repellent

[silverpal]

Does it kill the lizard? I'm afraid that I might be chasing the lizards around the house instead of reducing their numbers.

i came across a sticky tape specially for capturing lizard. so after the lizard is being caught you can throw that tape away of course.
