how can i keep lizards out of my room?

Question

I live in Singapore which is a tropical country. The place where i stay is surrounded by a lot of trees. Once in a while i would find lizard in my room and that really freaks me out!

Answer 1

Here is something I found on the internet:
"There are no repellents for lizards. They are harmless but it can be startling to see one climb up the draperies! They are likely already trying to escape - help them along by keeping doors open. If they can not find the exit, you can try to trap them. Glue boards sold for mice will catch and hold a lizard. Place them along the baseboards where you see the intruders. If you catch one, take them outside and pour vegetable oil on their feet to release the sticky glue."

Btw, I'm from hawaii where we have lots of lizards.. Yeah they're scary but they're more scared of you than you are of them.. what kind of lizard is it? Are they dangerous?

Answer 2

lizards or geckos? A gecko is smoother, with big pads on his fingers so he can climb. Geckos are good guys because they eat flies, mosquitos and stuff. They are cute because they try to change colour to the same as the wall and never quite manage it! A lizard looks more like a snake with legs, I have never had lizards come in the house.

Answer 3

Close the doors and windows? Or if its to hot for that try buying a cat. Cats will kill and eat anything. Or you could just move away from Singapore. That might be extreme though. Id probably get a cat.

Answer 4

Be grateful they're not snakes! All you can do is make sure your screens are tight, and that there are no lizard entrances around. Check around the door. Weather sealing should stop critters also.
