They may seem cute and friendly when you're watching the Animal Planet or Discovery, but not all lizards want to be your friend. In fact, some lizards can be dangerous pests. Do you know how to get rid of lizards once they're infiltrated your property?

The only way to get rid of lizards is to get rid of them. First, you might try attacking their food supply. In what areas of your property are you noticing the most lizard activity? Work on controlling the insect population with bug sprays and other bug repellents, and this should greatly decrease the lizards you're seeing.

Independent creatures, even taking away their food may not make all the lizards go away. Unfortunately, one of the only way to get rid of lizards is to dispose of them in nature's way. Common house cats are natural predators of lizards (because cats can be vicious and lizards are just the right size). You may want to let a cat prowl the area where lizards have been spotted. These natural feline hunters will do a lot more to get rid of lizards than you ever could.

If cats aren't your thing, however, you don't want to get a cat just to get rid of lizards. Then, you have to worry about getting rid of the cat. You can try using trap to get rid of lizards. Glue traps usually work the best. You want to try to eliminate the food supply before you work to get rid of lizards, however. You may get rid of existing lizards, but food supply will lead more lizards to your land. So deal with the bugs in the area first, and then deal with the lizards themselves.

You may try powders and other repellents to get rid of lizards. Many of these products are non-toxic and will not harm your grass or other plants. These powders and products work to naturally repel lizards without hurting them, so that they'll leave the area. However, you'll need to regularly apply such repellents to make sure the lizards stay away.

Once you know how to get rid of lizards, your backyard is safe again. Now, you can worry about all the other pests you might find in your backyard.
