How to Keep Lizards and Geckos Away

How to Keep Lizards and Geckos Away

Keeping lizards and geckos away starts with making your property less attractive to them. These reptiles are drawn to areas that provide food, warmth, shelter, and easy access to insects. By reducing these attractants and applying a quality repellent, you can help discourage them from returning to your home. In many areas, this also includes anoles, another common type of lizard.

Reduce Insect Activity

Lizards and geckos feed on insects, so reducing their food supply is one of the most effective ways to discourage them.

Help reduce insect activity by:

• Turning off unnecessary outdoor lights

• Keeping trash containers tightly closed

• Cleaning up food spills around outdoor living areas

• Removing standing water where insects may gather

Remove Hiding Places

These reptiles prefer locations where they can quickly hide.

Help eliminate hiding spots by:

• Trimming shrubs and overgrown vegetation

• Removing wood piles and rock piles

• Cleaning up leaves and yard debris

• Organizing garages and storage buildings

• Sealing cracks and gaps around foundations and entryways

Apply a Lizard Repellent

A quality repellent can help create a barrier that makes treated areas less inviting.

For best results:

• Apply according to the product label.

• Treat areas where lizards and geckos are commonly seen.

• Reapply as directed to maintain protection.

• Combine repellent use with regular property maintenance.
