      My house have no roaches, thanks to the our helpful lizards. Sometimes I see dismembered insects legs lying around, must have been killed by the lizards.


      Someone suggest using soap water to spray on the lizard. Their feet get slippery, cannot run. Then you take plastic bag and catch the fella and throw away, like that you donโ€™t kill.

      I used to have to bend down to scrape off the lizard poop when I mop the floor but now not anymore. Found a mop that can rub the floor so well, lizard poop can all come out. So happy.

            reminds me of a paint brand whereby the advert shows the lizard sliding down the wall :scratchhead:

              lizards gd mah, help to eat mozzies :boogie:


              i hate roaches :mad:

              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.


              aiyo, u so cruel... wait i complaint u to SPCA... :laugh:
              no offense huh, js joking only :lol:

                    We hate to \"kill\" the lizard, so we use insecticide and then the lizard will be \"blurred\". Lead or catch and put into plastic bag and throw it away. Once we heard a lizard in our rubbish bag, so we tied up the whole bag and threw it away. Hopefully the lizard will not find its way \"home\" ๐Ÿ˜‰

                    :rotflmao: even it go \"home\" u also dunoe is it the same one
                    still have 19 more to go jia you!!

                    That one I will know, \"he\" is the black-black color one. The other one at home is a fair-skin one :rotflmao: Trying to get rid of the fair-skin one now, but \"he\" is the smarter and faster one, not easy to \"catch\" :laugh:

                      Haha, SPCA is not concerned about little reptiles. Sometimes, really no choice. These irritating lizards multiply very fast, if you don't kill one, by next week, they invite their mates around and then start a family. Then you have to share your house with new tenants who leave poo all over the floor. This way of killing is the fastest and cleanest, so I recommend it to anyone who hates lizards. :lol:
