Lizard Pest Control
Many gardeners wish to get rid of lizards because they are frightened by them or feel they are a nuisance. We feel it would be best to leave the lizards alone. They are not eating your plants and they rarely speak out of turn. That said, it’s your garden and if you don’t want the lizards it’s my job to tell you how to make them go away. Let’s just agree that we will make them go away unharmed. Okay?
The lizard is attracted to areas that provide a good food source like all that newly turned soil that covers the garden area. The lizard eats insects, so it is beneficial to the environment to have them present. However, if they are making you as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs, you can make the area less inviting to lizards simply by applying a granular insecticide around the perimeter of your house. This process will reduce the insect population and force the lizards to go elsewhere in their search for food.
To better control insects you should also consider the use of Round-Up herbicide to kill all vegetation along the foundation of your house in a strip of four to six inches out from the wall. Insects love the cool, moist edge along house foundation walls and eliminating this hiding place will do much in your efforts to control the insect population.
Reduce the insects! Reduce the lizard population! It’s a pretty simple formula.
