Keeping your home lizards free is one way to ensure hygiene and avoid getting startled by them at every corner of the house. Opening your cupboards and drawers, only to find an unpleasant sight of lizards isn’t something that many will fancy. While most lizards are generally harmless, their presence in the house is not something you should have to put up with. Below are few home remedies to get rid of lizards –
Lizard
1. Ice Cold Water
Lizards love the warmth and are primarily found in warm places. Throwing cold water at lizards will make them stiff so, that you can easily catch it and throw it away
2. Using Eggshells
Odors of eggshells will make the lizards assume that another organism may be present in the area and will make them go away. Place the eggshells in the corner of your house and keep those creepy creatures out.
3. Tobasco Sauce
Like pepper, lizards can’t tolerate the smell of Tabasco sauce. Mix two teaspoons of Tabasco sauce with a cup of water. Take the bottle and spray it all over the areas where the lizards are often found or on the ceiling and walls. This will make the lizards stay out from your house.
4. Naphthalene Balls
Another way is placing naphthalene balls in the corner of the house. You can also replace them with mothballs.
5. Onion
Lizards cannot tolerate onion’s strong pungent smell. So, place onion slices at every corner or spray some onion juice in every corner to keep your home lizard free!
6. Peacock Feather
Lizards find peacocks intimidating as the latter is known to make a meal out of lizards. Hence peacock feather should keep lizards away.
