A lizard is one of the uninvited pets in a house. It is not necessary that you will find a lizard sticking around the walls and ceilings of your house only if you have them as pets. They just storm into houses and buildings from the wild and make the place their home. However, once they run loose around, catching them becomes a big chase. If you are looking for some help in catching lizards, read the tips given below, which will surely make the task easy for you.
How to Catch a Lizard
- Take at least a 3-foot long stick.
- Cut off a piece of dental floss as long as the stick.
- Tie one end of the floss to the stick and make a slip knot on the other end. When you are done, your tool should look like a crude fishing pole.
- Carefully, move close to the lizard, so that you can touch it with the slip knot. You'll discover that the lizard will not budge even if you hit it with the string. It is supposed to be more worried about your proximity than the stick.
- Move the stick closer to the lizard until the slip knot slides around its neck. This may require some effort so make sure you keep distance from the lizard to accomplish your task.
- Pull the stick gently once you have hooked the lizard. The lizard will now move around and try to get loose.
- Get hold of the lizard as quickly as possible and turn it onto its back and rub its stomach gently with one finger. This will incapacitate the lizard.
- Once you are able to calm the lizard, remove the knot from its neck, rubbing its stomach. Now, set it free outside
