Lizards commonly enter homes where insects are plentiful and shelter is available. Reduce outdoor lighting that attracts insects near doors, install screens, seal gaps and keep corners free of clutter. Manage flies and mosquitoes using sanitation and physical barriers. Avoid glue traps or harmful home remedies that may injure animals or people. If lizards are frequently entering, check for openings around windows, vents and service pipes, and use humane exclusion methods where possible.
Prevention checklist
- Keep food and waste managed properly.
- Inspect for moisture, gaps and signs of pest activity.
- Use pest-control products only as directed on their labels.
When to call a professional
If the problem keeps returning, affects a business or involves hidden damage, arrange an inspection with a qualified pest-management provider. Ask for clear preparation instructions, safety guidance and follow-up recommendations.
