You don't live in Florida do you?! We actually like the little lizards down here. They eat the insects. If you read the OP, she was asking how to catch it so she could get it back outside. Not kill it...

Absolutely!!!! I would never kill a lizard!

I think he ran out of the house the other day. Did something like the above poster suggested but it was by accident. Husband left the front door open and the kitchen, right at the front door, and I think he left.

I hope so! He was awfully cute!

I did read the OP. I don't like animals living in my place. I live in Atlanta, GA but lives in FL from Feb to May of this year.

I wouldn't kill it, however I would do what it takes to get it out of my house. To get them out you would need lure it somehow. If they don't find food, you will smell a weird odor.

They are not hard to catch. I catch them all the time on the patio. They are harmless. Just take it outside and let him go. 30 seconds and done

Dogs smell so bad and slobber all over and bark at all hours of the night which annoy the fudge outta me.

Awww that is so sad that you will never enjoy the companionship of a loving animal. Ours does not bark all night he does slobber some but it's part of his character. A truer friend you could never have, I feel sad for you that you are annoyed by one of the finer things of life.

It's all about perspective; nothing against your dog.

We have a lizard living in our kitchen cupboards. I've named him Robert and decided to leave him alone and let him eat the roaches. From time to time when I open the cupboard next to the fridge I see him in there, and I say hi to him and leave him be. He's been here for a couple months now and seems to be doing well so I have no problem with him.
