Lizards are not desirable in home creatures, even though they keep big, nasty insects away from our homes. Every household has a few members who tremble in fear when they see lizards, as they would when they see cockroaches.
Fear no more, because with these home remedies, you can get rid of lizards within no time. It is time you took charge of your home again.
Egg Shells
Egg shells help in tricking lizards to abandon their usual spot, since they assume that another being is now living in that area.
Place an egg shell on a plastic pizza tripod/pizza saver that you receive with any home delivered pizza; this will help keep the egg shell in place while you can also move it around without much disturbance. It is generally a good practice to change the egg shells once every month.
Onions
Onions may make us cry, but they also make lizards cry. Chop a medium-sized onion into slices and hang them against a wall or place them in the usual nooks and crannies where lizards hide.
Onions’ pungent odor helps in repelling the lizards, but don’t forget to change the onion slices once they have dried up.
Garlic
Much like onions, garlic too drives away lizards. You can use garlic in one of two ways: either place cloves of garlic in various spots, or spray an onion-garlic mixture in various places.
To create the mixture, add onion juice, water and a few drops of garlic essence. Pour the mixture into a spray gun and shake well. You should now be able to spray it in vulnerable corners in your home.
Coffee Powder
Think of this remedy as creating your very own gunpowder to shoo away any and all lizards. Mix coffee powder with some crushed tobacco, and prepare small balls of this mixture.
Next, fix these balls on toothpicks or any other sharp, pointy object that can be placed in small nooks and crannies. Leave these toothpicks for lizards to consume; they will die instantly.
