How do you catch a lizard in your home?

Answer 1

Watch out for entry points such as broken screens. Remove any food sources (insects) that may have drawn the creature. Aerosol treatments like Baygon in combination with Lizard Glue Traps or Lizard Tape are most effective. The lizard may be released from the trap outdoors by pouring vegetable oil where it is attached to the trap. Alternatively, some people just grab them (but there may be disease risks) or catch them in a cup.

Answer 2

The best way is to use a fine net, but barring that corral it into a shoebox or some such device. Be careful not to grab ti by the tail as many lizards will detach their tails as a defense mechanism.

Answer 3

Take the time necessary to move everything until you can get to the lizard - trap it with a towel or washcloth ad let it go outside. Most lizards will die within 3 days if they are trapped inside a house with nothing to eat or drink.

Answer 4

What you need to do is set a trap for the animal. Not knowing how large this lizard is, it is difficult to determine the best trap.

If the lizard is gecko-sized...less than a foot long, put a 5-gallon bucket on the steps (or even on the floor if you have no steps) and put a bit of water in it. Lay a walk-way or ramp to the bucket so it can try to get the water and fall in.

If you've lost a large iguana, you might need something more on the lines of a plastic kiddie pool.

If it is an adult Komodo dragon, tie up a poodle on a stout chain...maybe not.

Answer 5

To catch a lizard in your home, you can try using a container or a box to trap it. Slowly approach the lizard and place the container over it, then slide a piece of paper or cardboard underneath to trap it inside. Once the lizard is safely contained, you can release it back into the wild.
