These small non- poisonous reptiles hunt flies, spiders and other insect pests, and should be left undisturbed if found in your yard. Lizards are seen more often in the spring and summer as they search for food.
Lizards live in the same type of habitat as small mammals because of the many hiding places.
Lizards cause no property damage to the home or yard, but seeing a lizard may frighten some people. Lizards are even more frightened of you than you are of them. Lizards sometimes enter older homes through doorways with inadequate weather stripping, through small holes around plumbing and through drier vents. These shy, secretive creatures will often leave the way they came without your awareness of their presence. If you have found a lizard in your home, you need to first put it outside and secondly figure out how it got in.
