If you are looking for remedies to get rid of those slithery pests, look no further. Here is a list of home remedies to keep lizards away, that you can use with confidence. Sure, there are lizard repellents in stores – but they are full of harmful chemicals. They are a big no-no especially if you have small children and pets in the house. Wondering how to kill lizards and make your home creep-free? Without further delay, choose one of these superb home remedies from the following list and bid farewell to lizards from the house permanently!

1. Egg Shells

You may have heard of this from your granny and aunts. This is one of the most foolproof ways of keeping away lizards from your premises. Lizards are repelled by the smell of eggs. After you use eggs, keep the shells and strew them around the house, especially near doors and windows.

2. Garlic

This flavorful vegetable is appealing to us human beings, but lizards hate the smell. Just hang garlics around the house or keep cloves of garlic near doors and windows to keep away the pests. You can also make a spray using garlic juice and water and spray it around the house.

3. Pepper Spray

Yes, pepper sprays aren’t just for creeps – you can shock the lizards with these homemade sprays! What’s more these are homemade and easy to make – no harmful chemicals at all! Just mix water, ground black pepper and chili powder and shake well. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spray the spicy water around the house. Lizards will be repelled by the spicy odor!

4. Onion

Want to know how to keep lizards away forever? Like garlics, lizards hate the pungent smell of onions as well. Hang them near doors or windows or place them in lizards’ hiding places. They will leave the house as they can’t stand the smell! Alternatively, make a mixture out of water and onion juice – spray this around the house to drive away lizards.


5. Bird Feathers

Birds are natural predators of lizards. Hang a few bird feathers around the house – lizards will be scared away, thinking there are birds in the area. You can even make attractive wall-hangings with the bird feathers for an added plus! A Bird feather is effectual remedy to get rid of house lizards.

How to keep them from entering the house –

Lizards enter your home through small apertures around the house. So seal up these openings using sealants and prevent them entering at all.
Use window screens to prevent them from your home through windows.

Keep egg shells around the house permanently to prevent further infestation. Just change them every 3 or 4 weeks.

Alternatively keep one variation of an anti-lizard spray handy and spray it around the house every week to keep your house lizard-free.

In order to cut the food source of lizards in your house, you can install an UV insect trap to kill insects and bugs.
