Dear Cary Princess,
It sounds like your blog has been awhile ago. So I am curious to know if you got rid of your problem. My husband and I just moved to TX from ND, and I too noticed in the middle of the night that a junior lizard was crawling up my office wall. Now he is loose in the house somewhere and I too am wondering what to do. It sounds like some kind of sticky tape might catch him or her. If you have gotten rid of them, would you please write me? My address is p.ladymail@gmail.com. I'm not in agreement with the nature lover nor the guy who told you to get a couple of snakes to eat them. I will get rid of them any way I can.
Get a couple of big snakes and let them loose in your house. They should eat up the lizards. Once that's done, you'll need to get rid of the snakes . . . I have no idea how to do that.
I have sprayed small lizards with cockroach spray which kills them eventually but, just slows them down, they have gone for me three times one climbed on my foot before I shook it off, I don't know if they would bite given the chance
They will not bite. We have many that run around our deck and yard . If you have a garden or flower bed they are awesome since they eat so many bugs. When you do catch them, don't be surprised if their tail falls off! They are interesting little creatures. Just catch them and release into your gardens or flower beds.
I know it's an old thread but since it was bumped up...
We lived in S. FL and had them in the house all the time. They don't hurt anything and eat the spiders and other bugs. They don't bite...they never bothered me.
took some getting used to, but in the end they were kind of cool little things.
Where I used to live it was considered good luck to have a lizard in your house! I'd take lizards over the mouse that has seemed to take up residence in our house recently.

The first time I saw a lizard, I was around 8 and we had moved to Arizona from Massachusetts, my sister told me to pick it up by its tail. That was the day I learned to not fully trust everything she said!
