If lizards are getting in the house, we would look for entry points and exclude the openings. We would then set traps around the perimeter of the home. In addition to trapping, we will apply a pesticide to the exterior to control the lizard’s food source. Typically it takes 1-3 weeks to trap the majority of the geckos in the house. As far as outside, the lizards can be deterred. We can keep them away from the house and minimize activity in yards with the application of pesticide around those areas and with traps. Once the initial population is under control, we recommend monthly visits to check traps and apply a food source control to keep the lizards out of the house.
