Seems like this year I have a lizard problem. Both a small and big lizard problem. I have corraled 2 that are about 6 inches long in the past two weeks. Just a minute ago I was on the back porch and one about a foot long and about an inch in diamater came right up to me.

Anyone know how to keep them away? I live in a neighborhood so food and water are only a yard away for them.

How are they a problem?:-) They are not poisonous and most help keep the insect population down.:-)

Yup.
In South Florida, they are a regular part of life, along with Iguanas that seem to be multiplying all over.

We used to have a cat that would eat them.

I like having the little guys. Keeps the bug count down and they're pretty harmless.

I am in Az and do see a lot more this year, I see 2 in my yard at any given time but do not care as I see no harm from them. They also tend to run away from me and are no bother.

I like lizards.

No lizard problems in Portland, OR :-)

The lady doesn't like finding them in the house. We leave the windows open when it feels good.

I have no problems with them in the garden. If they keep the insects from my tomatoes and peppers I'm happy.

They make these things called window screens. Might be worth some investigation. :-)

Get some screens for the windows? Or a cat. Cats eat lizards or at least decapitate them and play with their corpse.

What kind of lizards? Anoles? Any lizard is good. The small ones eat the roaches and flys and the bigger ones take out squirrels and rats!

In Hawaii, a lizard in the house is considered good luck. :-)

If you help gas $$ I could come with a cage and grab 2-3 lizards at your house for pets for my son up here, no lizards up here.I could even drop a few off to Tom on the way.

my grandmother's yard used to get them bad. whenever i would mow her yard she told me to run em over when i saw them:-)

Lizard murderer. :-)

I really don't see how sitting out in the yard or walking around and seeing lizards is a bad thing, I mean I always liked it when I was in places that had lizards walking around. Now if you lived in Indonesia and they were those huge ferocious lizards then I'd be worried.
