Lizards

Discover the Fascinating Varieties of Lizards


The common house lizard is generally harmless and not known to be a carrier of diseases. Their diet consists of insects like flies, mosquitoes, and moths, inadvertently aiding in controlling the population of these airborne nuisances in your home.


Yet, these reptiles often leave unsightly droppings that can mar the appearance of walls, floors, furnishings, and textiles. Lizards are drawn to sources of light and require water for survival, which explains why you typically spot them and their droppings around ceiling lights or in areas like under kitchen sinks. Additionally, they produce a chirping sound that can be quite disturbing, particularly if it disrupts your sleep at night. While house lizards aren’t disease vectors, their presence and the marks they leave behind contribute to their unwanted pest status.


Lizards chirp primarily for two reasons: to assert their territory and ward off competitors, or to attract a mate. Hearing these sounds can be an indicator of more than one lizard inhabiting your space. Although it's uncommon, it’s wise to be vigilant, as you certainly wouldn’t want to stumble upon lizard eggs or face a full-blown lizard infestation!

While opting for a lizard repellent might seem straightforward, it doesn't offer a long-term fix for effectively removing lizards.
