Default How to get rid of lizards?

HI,

Lizards are EEEEKS and I find them creepier than anything in the Universe.

I have pur Netlon nets for windows, balcony, ventilators to Lizard proof my house.

Yet some Rouge Lizards trespass into my liz free house thru open doors(Yeah, they

loiter outside my main door like thieves)

To chase them off I spray a steady stream of Hit on that rascal and he/she faints and
runs helter skelter and at last gets killed (my maid,watchman and Sonny dear attack it with shoes,broomsticks, Thatha.s walking stick etc. )or manage to run out.

The whole operation is supervised by my standing on a dining table and screaming at 140 decibels and tracking its route amidst profuse gasping and sweating...
I really find it too tedious and wish Ican spend that energy and time on something else

(Browsing and posting IL perhaps...)

Come out with ur suggestions please...

And...

Sticking peacock feathers JUST DON'T HELP.

(I find these critters wandering on these pretty feathers)

Egg shells attract red ants...

Laxman rekha is Lizzi Boy's mid noon snack.

Pesticide laden paints keep the house LIZ FREE for just 6 months...


What to do...

hi,

yes peacock feathers don't work (even the bigger ones). As you have written the moment i notice a lizard my next job is to chase it out with broom and i end up cutting their tail or kill them. Remember Lizards are exisitng from times even before our birth!!!

love

Hi Sundari,

At least U r bold enough to Chase them or even kill them yourself.

Hats off 2 u.

I have chased away fierce looking street dogs effortlessly ,not scared of any other creature BUT Lizards turn me into a quivering mass of badly set jelly.

Reason REPULSIVENESS couples with fear.

Thumbs down Re: How to get rid of lizards?

Hi Shakambari,

Just now saw your thread. I am also like you. I will not allow any lizard in my house. they are too dangerous. I will send them out with my husband and my son's help.

நான் சொல்வேன், ஒன்னு நான் இருக்கணும் அல்லது அது
இருக்கணும் என்று.

ok comming to the problem, you can use spring onions for this. Or prepare this and put. This is for Cocoroach, but we found after putting this throught out the house, we dont fine even lizard. hope this helps you. please give me a reply.

Cockroach Repellent

Note: While preparing this please wear a glove since it is toxic.

Take 100 Gms. of Boric Powder, 2 table spoons of Wheat Flour or Patient flour and 2 table spoons of sugar.
Put them all in a bowl.
Mix well and sprinkle water occasionally.
Prepare it like a tough dough and make small balls out of it.
Put the balls in all rooms at a time.
Otherwise all the cockroaches will migrate to other rooms from kitchen.
So please keep these two thing in mind before using the cockroach repellent in your house.
1. At the same time I don't know whether the cockroach repellent will protect your food items from ants.
2. Keep out of the reach of children .

We actually catch it in the vaccuum cleaner and throw it outside. Probably this is the only solution that i could suggest.

Shakambari,

Peacock feather DID HELP when I was living in Chennai. I am surprised it does not work out for you !!

I saw a radical difference after I placed big peacock feather on the walls of all the rooms !!

As babyraji pointed out, this topic is already discussed before under Cleaning & Organizing. Here is the link....
