No matter how frequently we clean our homes, we will discover lizard droppings on walls and floors. This has become a prevalent concern in many households. Additionally, lizard faeces pose potential health risks. As soon as attention is diverted, lizards often invade kitchens and contaminate food supplies. But there are several household products to help you get rid of lizards. Here are some of the ways to remove lizards from your home.

Eggshells
Discarded eggshells are effective in controlling lizards as the odour of eggs is unbearable for them. After using eggs, it is advisable to wipe the eggshells and place them in the corners of doors which are common entry points for lizards. This can assist in keeping lizards at bay to some degree. However, ensure that the eggshells are removed the following day.

Cool the room
Lizards are generally found in warmer conditions. If you have an AC at home, maintaining its temperature below 22 degrees Celsius will help you keep the lizards away from the room. 

Garlic and Onions
Much like that of eggshells, the smell of garlic and onions is intolerable to lizards. To deter them, you may place garlic cloves and sliced onions in the corners of your rooms or on the windowsill. You can also mix the juice of garlic or onion with water and spray it in the nooks and corners of your rooms. As the smell begins to spread, the lizards are likely to flee.

Cold water
There are also solutions if lizards appear only occasionally rather than every day. By applying cold water stored in the refrigerator to their bodies, lizards will become temporarily immobilized for a while. You can then safely remove them from the area.

Let's take care of these things
Lizards are mainly attracted to food items within our homes. Therefore, it is essential to cover all food products. Also, ensure that any leftover food is promptly removed from your homes. Lizards frequently seek refuge in cupboards and other seldom-used spaces. Therefore, it is advisable to clean these areas regularly.
