PEST CONTROL INFO

What Are Lizards?

Lizards inhabit diverse environments, from tropical rainforests to arid deserts and human-made structures. House lizards are small, agile reptiles well-adapted to urban spaces, playing a role in controlling local insect populations.

Behaviour & Signs of Infestation

Most house lizards hide during the day behind frames, clocks, or wall cracks and emerge at night. Recognising early signs of their presence helps keep your living spaces clean and hygienic.

Signs of Lizard Presence

Lizard Droppings: Black droppings with distinct white tips found on floors, walls, or window sills.

Detached Tails: Lizards shed their tails (autotomy) to escape predators when feeling threatened.

Insect Abundance: High populations of flies, ants, and roaches naturally attract lizards to your home.

HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS

Are House Lizards Dangerous?

While house lizards are relatively harmless compared to rodents or cockroaches, they are bacterial carriers that can contaminate food and surfaces, posing health risks to occupants.
