Pepper has the properties that irritate pests. Dilute black with water and spray the solution to the spots where you have noticed lizards. They won’t come to the place ever again in fear of irritation black pepper gives.

Onion and garlic

Onion and garlic have a pungent smell that pests can’t stand against it. At one point we will be used to it but for lizards, it will stay strong enough. Just placing the onion and garlic cloves in the corners of the room can do the work for you of keeping the pest lizard at bay.

If keeping the slices or cloves in room corners bothers you then you can also add their extract to a spray bottle and use the solution instead.

Naphthalene balls

If you don’t have toddlers or pets the then use of naphthalene balls can be a good choice for you. The pungent smell f these balls is something that humans get used to but not pests. It is always irritating for pests and they will avoid coming even closer to it.
