Anyone knows how to get rid of house LIZARDS??

I bought the lizards trap... those sticky types... put near the window stills for 2 weeks yet no lizards caught.
Found 4 lizards... 2 big, 2 small. Killed 2 small ones with boiling water.
Waiting to trap the big ones... seemingly they are too smart cos they managed to avoid the sticky traps.

Hmmmm... Think I will try the lemongrass tactic.
I hate lizards!
Whenever I am at my sink washing up... I could hear the lizards making their awful noises outside the windows.
Think they are waiting for me to leave the kitchen. I am freaky!

yeah they are definitely really active and there are more than one if they are cracking that noise... put some lemongrass teabag or lemongrass or even mandarin oranges skin outside and see if there is any improvement

let us know... for me so far so good...
 
noscon, hahahaha, I don't know if my dog plays with the lizards but whenever I see tailess lizards at home, I think I know why ...
 
hi gals,

i hv been using ginger and lemongrass teabags(lipton) and they have been working so far (no lizzy trail i see these days ahaha..). it is definitely a cleaner and less cruel method compared to the traps. i change the bags every few months and place them at various corners in the kitchen. also, keep ur leftover food well covered and empty ur bins every night b4 u sleep.
hope it helps

I just returned from a chalet holiday in p.ubin. Of course there will be lizards there. I think my room has not been used for a long while and prob a lizard nest. There were loads of lizards' shit on 1 side of the wall. So scary.... Then one time, I saw a big lizard and my screams scared it running off. Then my hubby told me he saw a BIG black lizard scurrying to behind a cabinet. Thank God that it is only for 1 night.

During the night at ard 4am I heard the legendary lizard "talking noise" very close to my bed, in fact beside my bed. So I woke up with a jump, and sleep with my hubby(2 twins bed apart) So no choice got to squeeze and woke up each time I heard "lizard talking". I can't help it. I just detest and scared of them so much. Oh what an experience!
 
Hi gals

Happy happy....
So far d lemon grass works (keep my finger cross).
However, as d lemon grass dried up liao, saw dat creature again on Sat.

HB & me hurry to replace those dried lemon grass with fresh one.

so i hav question as to how long do i need to replace d lemon grass? When they dried up or every 2 other day?
What i did was to "hammer" d lemon grass" b4 placing them ard our house, do i hav to do dat actually? d reason for me hammering d lemon grass is to release d lemon grass aroma. is it necessary or do i just hav to place d lemon grass ard

thanx gals
 
Hi gals,
I jus heard from my aunt who came over and saw huge lizard running around saying that a cheap way apart from lemon grass is to use egg shell, roasted then place around corners of the house to deter them from coming .. dun know if it works as i had not tried yet .. hehe jus heard about it yesterday .. do let me know the outcome !
 
hmm .. i suspect you have to roast the shell to prevent decay or smell ... anyway jus wash then put in any toaster will do .. or oven also can .. then put at the corners or place where u see lizards .. besxt if u know where they enter from ..
 
moved into my hse for abt half a year. nw i start getting to c lizards droppings more n more often. im so mad abt tis. i tried to clean it, but notice it still leaves a stain on e wall. is very obvious for my walls, as my walls is mostly white, light colours. do u noe how to get rid of the stain left by lizards?
 
use it dry... you can squeeze it first to get the scent out....

now there are new products in shop n save and ntuc for lizards. one is the usual trapping kind. the other one is spraying kind to keep the lizards out... anyone tried them?
 
use it dry ah...ok i try.

i didnt want to get the trap cuz will be quite gross to take it and throw. i bot the spray to keep the lizards out.
its purpose is to make the area u spray slippery so that it cannot climb...so i spray the outside of my windows to prevent them from coming in.

so far so good but i realise there are less lizards around nowadays. is it a season thing? haha
 
if you get rid of the lizards, your house will be overrun by bugs. Lizards eat all sorts of nasty pests that you wouldn't want in your house.
Instead show your little girl the lizard and explain to her they are good. She is probably scared because you are freaking out about them.
Calm yourself down and she will probably calm down.
 
We had maybe five of the juvenile five-lined skinks (they have bright blue tails) make visits to our home over the summer, but haven't seen any in months...sounds like they move on to your house.

We've never really worried about them, just trapping them in boxes and scooting them outside. Eggs are laid in late spring or early summer, so you shouldn't have to worry about hatchlings. They also much prefer to lay eggs in moist soil or rotten logs and the mothers attend to the eggs for the two months until they hatch, so I don't think they'd be looking to your house as a favorable location for that.

They're totally harmless, and I'm not sure there's much you can do besides making sure you've got door sweeps installed, any holes patched up, and maybe keeping as much moist soil and plant material away from your house as possible.
 
I Mortein the lizards and they go someplace to die in their skins. No maggots. Like cured leather after they die. After a while, no more eggs laid, no more baby lizards.

Most lizards came out during midnight.... and they will stick on the wall high up... just wonder how we going to Mortein them? Impossible we sit and wait all night for them to come out.... any better solution?
 
I once saw our block's cat caught a liazrd holding on to the body then let go and caught hold of it again. saw many dead lizards lying around our flat's lobby....Eeeee......
Also saw one huge dead lizard @ under the seat of the upper deck of bus 12。。。Eeeeeeee.....
 
I checked out on the internet that peacock feathers help but I put alot of peacock feathers and lemongrass around my whole house and after a long time I didn't see any lizards then I thought they work then today I saw a lizard and took 3h catching it and in the end needed my friend to come catch it cuz it was under my washing machine which was v. Far
 
My father taught me a trick to kill lizards without touching them... Just boil hot water, put it in a cup and then splash it on the lizards cuz they r fast to catch so by splashing the water, the lizards will stop moving cuz u burnt them so make sure the water is juz boilt or sth and then the lizard will stop moving then u get someone help u pick it up then throw it IN THE TOILET BOWL AMD FLUSH!!! hope I helped
 
heard that putting egg shells work. After cracking eggs for your meal, keep the shells. Do not wash them. Put a few in a container and leave it at the corners where the lizards usually appear.

try it :)
 
You can try using Lizard Trap Cards that can trap those unwanted house lizards, I caught like 6-8 lizards from my kitchen area within a few months omg.. didnt knew that my house has an entire village of them
