pandan in car - I have tried but it seems not very effective. But we like the smell of it.

cockroach in car, try put pandan in the car. it can also be car perfume, if u like the smell of it


for lizard, i tried using the lizard trap that NTUC sell, quite good though. And also some DIY shop also sell lizard trap which is also quite useful.
if not u can try this (i have not tried that before but heard fr frd) use egg shells.
take the egg shells (wash it with water, dry and crush them into smaller pieces) and put them in a container at the corners of the house, heard that lizards are scared of those. not sure if its really true but u can give it a try.
btw, lizard scare of lemongrass, u can try put some at their \"normal hang-out area\" or hang it at the window so they wont come in

I put the lizard trap at home, but my house's lizards too cleaver, crawl anywhere but into those traps. :frustrated:

Tried burning lemongrass essential oil, nothing works.

The lizards in my old house never eat mozzies, only left poo-poo on the floor. The worst is the poo got stuck on the floor, took so long to clean it. So whenever I see any lizard, I get a pot of boiling water and pour on it to kill it. If it's on the ceiling, I'll get a pole to knock it down, then pour boiling water on it.

WCW:

the poo poo can use water+white vinegar to wash it, kill germs at the same time

Thanks for the tip, but it's easier to kill lizards than clean the poo.
