Lizard pest control is the process of managing and eliminating lizards from homes, offices, or commercial spaces. While lizards are generally harmless and beneficial as natural insect predators, they can become a nuisance when they invade living areas or workplaces.
Goals of Lizard Pest Control
Remove Lizards: Safely capture and relocate or deter them from the premises.
Prevent Infestation: Seal entry points and make the environment less attractive to lizards.
Minimize Risk: Reduce lizard droppings and avoid damage caused by their presence.
Common Methods of Lizard Pest Control
1.Inspection:
Identify the areas where lizards are frequently spotted.
Look for sources of food (insects) and entry points like cracks, gaps, or open windows.
2. Sanitation and Habitat Modification:
Reduce Insects: Eliminate their food sources by managing pests like flies and mosquitoes.
Declutter: Remove unused items and clean spaces to minimize hiding spots.
Seal Entry Points: Use caulk, weatherstripping, or screens to block gaps and cracks.
3. Natural Repellents:
Eggshells: Place empty eggshells in corners; lizards associate them with predators.
Pepper Spray: Mix chili powder and water, then spray in areas where lizards are seen.
Garlic or Onion: The strong smell repels lizards.
Naphthalene Balls: Place them in less-accessed areas to deter lizards (keep out of children’s reach).

Use sticky traps or glue boards to capture lizards for safe removal.
Ensure humane release far from the property.
