Opening your cabinets and drawers, only to find an unsightly house lizards dropping onto you! While most lizards are generally harmless—with some even using them as natural pest control—their presence in your home can be unsettling and it not something that you have to put up with.
Having any pests infesting your home is unsanitary and lizards are no exception. They tend to leave waste droppings around and could potentially cause food contamination with diseases they come into contact with.
Lizards that crawl on the ceiling may fall unexpectedly onto you or your food. For the phobia-centric individuals, this can be really daunting and unsettling, particularly when you have guests over.
Lizards are impressively quick on their feet. They can immediately crawl out of sight just as soon as you see one, therefore, making them way harder to catch than most other pests.
Lizards can get stuck into machines or within other objects and die over time. When they start to decompose, they tend to give off a foul smell and unpleasant sight that lingers for quite some time.
Common house lizards, geckos, and anoles primarily feed on insects. Ensure presence of common pests are well controlled to reduce the population of lizards in your home.
Besides insect population, open doors and windows may also be attracting lizards to invade your home—even more so if there are cracks and crevices that provide easy access for these pests.
Because lizards are cold-blooded animals, they tend to gravitate towards where it is warm, cosy and humid.
Lizards are not limited to feeding on insects, they tend to eat fruits, too. In some cases, they also feed on vegetables and you might be sharing this meal with lizards in a harmful manner.
You need to acknowledge the presence of water—Just like humans or pets, lizards need water to survive.
The presence of lizards might explain the little rips and holes in their leaves. They tend to become more problematic if you grow vegetables in your garden.
Keep lizards out of your home by removing their food and water sources. Make sure that your home is clean and free of garbage or anything that could attract insects and other pests—mosquitoes, houseflies, and cockroaches, to name a few. If you are unsure on how to find a lizard in your home, never hesitate to engage a professional. Early detection of a pest problem and prevent an escalation later on.
Check for any leaky faucets, broken pipes, or other potential water sources. While at it, you might as well locate any potential entry points—gaps in the doors and windows, tears in your screens, and cracks between the walls and pipes—and seal them.
