i am not lizardophobic, i know they would kill any spiders, or insects. But somehow i hate them, and i heard it somewhere that kill them cuz they might be very poisonous,
also how can i get rid of them, the house lizards?

As stated, beaded lizards and gila monsters....

are the only two venomous lizards in the world...
Komodo dragons, however,

eat so much nasty crap that if you get bitten by one, it can kill you if you don't get medical attention (this is also good information to keep in mind for any monitor-type lizard...)
Another thing to keep in mind, however, is that if your 'house lizards' (which it really depends on where you are in the world on what kind of 'house lizard' you have) are really blue-tailed skinks,

and your cat eats one, it can cause paralysis and in some cases even death.
Also, be aware that five lined skinks as juveniles look almost exactly like blue tails......

The Gila monster and the Mexican beaded lizard are the only venomous lizards on earth. The komodo dragon isn't really venomous. They have a lot of bacteria in their mouths that cause infections that will kill animals. The normal lizards that you might see in your house are harmless. Even if they did bite you it wouldn't hurt you. It's best just to leave them alone. They'll keep the insect population down in your house.

Okay, there are only two venomous lizards on earth, the mexican beaded lizard and gila monster. Yes, komodo dragons have enzyms in their mouths, but it isn't venom, it's mostly bacteria. The two lizards that are venomous are very bulky, and large, so any small quick lizard you can tell the difference right away.. duhh.. -Russ Frantom,

lol srry but no poison in lizards except for two, but i dont remember which ones... a common fence lizard will not have any poison, it kills the insects because they get to it before it gets to them.
