Is there a bait or trap that one can use to keep lizards out of your house?

Question

it seems to me that lizards hide, and you don't see them. Maybe under the bed or in the closets. How do you get them to come out?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Lizards do have the knack for hiding in your house but if your not afraid of them I would just let them be. They can be very helpful to you and you don't even realize it. Lizards prey on the things that we as humans do not want in our homes. These things are spiders, flies, bugs in general.

So if they are not scaring the daylights out of you leave them be or find a nice neighborhood kid and give them a quarter to catch it and release it for you.
WHATEVER YOU DO..........DO NOT KILL IT if you put it outside then it can help you in your garden or flower beds.

If it is not a normal gecko or green anole and is one that has a blue tail or body I would recommend using something other than my hands to catch them as these kind may or may not be poisonous.
