How Can I Get Rid of Lizards?
Although lizards are relatively harmless reptiles, many people suffer from an irrational fear of lizards and do not like them roaming free around their house, while others might think of them as annoying pests. If you are one of these many people, the good news is that there are measures you can take to keep lizards away from your house. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Spray a wide-spectrum bug spray around your house. Lizards eat bugs and by getting rid of their food source the lizards will lose interest in your house.

2
Keep a clean house and get rid of standing water. Lizards do not hang out in open spaces; garbage and clutter create places for lizards to hide and feel secure. You want your house to be as inhospitable as possible. Removing drinking sources will discourage lizards.

Trim bushes around your home. Trimming back bushes, especially near doors and entries to your home will prevent lizards from having a place to hide with access to your home.

Remove succulent plants from your yard. Lizards will chew on the leaves of succulents to obtain moisture.

5
Get a cat. Now that you have eliminated food, water and shelter from your yard, the last step is to get a curious, always-on-duty security guard to stand watch and catch lizards.
