How to Get Rid of Lizards Fast: 8 Foolproof Tricks Every Homeowner Should Try
Tips & Tricks: 8 Easy Ways to Lizard-Proof Your Home
Lizards are a common sight in many homes, but there are simple and affordable ways to keep them away. Here are eight practical remedies you can try:
Peppermint Oil Spray: Mix a few drops of peppermint oil with water and spray near windows, doors, and corners. The strong smell drives lizards away.
Declutter Dark Corners: Lizards hide in piles of newspapers, boxes, and storage areas. Clear out clutter and clean behind cupboards regularly.
Eggshells as Deterrents: Place washed, dried eggshells on balconies, shelves, or windowsills. Lizards mistake them for predators and avoid the area.
Garlic and Onion: Their strong smell acts as a natural repellent. Keep pieces near drains, sinks, and other entry points.
Seal Cracks and Gaps: Use putty or sealant to block small holes in doors, windows, and walls. Adding a mesh on windows gives extra protection.
Coffee-Tobacco Balls: Mix coffee powder with tobacco, roll into small balls, and place in lizard-prone areas. Keep out of children’s and pets’ reach.
Keep Your Home Clean: Lizards feed on insects, so sweeping, mopping, and timely dishwashing help reduce their food supply.
Control Humidity: Lizards prefer moist environments. Keep your home dry and well-ventilated.
