Why Lizard Control Matters?
While lizards consume insects, their uninvited presence inside your home is a hygiene risk and a nuisance. We treat lizard activity as a sign of a larger ecosystem imbalance.
- Health Risks: House lizards (Geckos) carry Salmonella bacteria on their skin and in their droppings. They can contaminate food surfaces, utensils, and exposed dishes, posing a risk of food poisoning.
- Secondary Infestation: A high population of lizards usually indicates a hidden insect infestation (mosquitoes, flies, or roaches). Lizards are predators; they only stay where there is a steady food source.
- Property Damage: Lizards often nest inside electrical boxes, air conditioning units, and servers seeking warmth, which can cause short circuits and expensive equipment failure.
What’s Included:
1. Inspection & Identification
Protecta’s licensed technicians perform a property audit to identify lizard species (e.g., Common House Geckos) and locate entry points like gaps in windows, vents, and pipe penetrations.
2. Treatment Plan & Strategy
We design a customized management plan using IPM (Integrated Pest Management). Our strategy addresses both the lizards and the insect population sustaining them to ensure long-term results.
3. Safe Application of Control Methods
We apply eco-friendly repellent sprays and place discreet glue traps in high-activity zones. These methods discourage lizards from remaining indoors without using toxic chemicals dangerous to pets.
4. Prevention & Exclusion
To stop re-entry, we seal cracks with silicone and install mesh screens over vents. We also provide habitat modification advice, such as removing outdoor debris and reducing night lighting that attracts bugs.
Treatment Methods We Use
- Repellent Sprays: Specialized biochemical formulations that irritate lizard senses, forcing them to leave the treated area.
- Insect Control: Eliminating the food source (flies, mosquitoes, roaches) to naturally reduce lizard populations.
- Exclusion Sealing: Utilizing silicone and wire mesh to physically block vector access through walls and ceilings.
- Glue Board Monitoring: Discreet placement of non-toxic traps to capture intruders in hard-to-reach corners.
- Habitat Modification: Removing vegetation and debris near walls to remove hiding spots.

FAQ
How do I get rid of lizards permanently?
Permanent removal requires exclusion. We seal gaps around windows, doors, and AC units. Combined with our professional repellent treatments and insect control, this forces lizards to find a better hunting ground outside
Is the lizard repellent safe for my dog/cat?
Yes. Protecta uses eco-friendly, specialized repellents derived from natural compounds. They are designed to be offensive to reptiles but are safe for humans and warm-blooded pets when applied correctly by professionals.
Why do I have so many lizards in my house?
Lizards enter homes primarily to find food. If you have a lot of lizards, it is a strong indicator of a secondary pest infestation (like spiders, flies, or roaches). Effective lizard control often begins with eliminating this food source to naturally reduce the population.
Is professional lizard control safe for my pets?
Yes. Protecta uses eco-friendly, specialized repellents derived from natural compounds. They are designed to be offensive to reptiles but are safe for humans, dogs, and cats when applied correctly by our professionals.
Do eggshells really keep lizards away?
This is a common myth. While lizards dislike the smell of raw eggs, dry eggshells have little to no effect. Professional chemical repellents and physical barriers are the only proven methods to deter them effectively.
Are common house lizards dangerous?
While common house geckos are not venomous, they are a hygiene risk. They carry Salmonella and other bacteria in their feces (droppings are black with a white tip), which can contaminate food preparation areas and surfaces.
How effective is professional lizard control compared to DIY?
Permanent removal requires exclusion, which DIY sprays rarely address. We seal gaps around windows, doors, and AC units to physically block entry. Combined with our professional repellent treatments, this forces lizards to find a better hunting ground outside.
Can lizards damage my AC or electronics?
Yes. Lizards frequently crawl into the warm circuit boards of air conditioners and appliances, causing short circuits, electrocution, and costly repairs. Our preventive lizard control service includes identifying and protecting these vulnerable access points.
