Lizards like to hang out on the walls as well as underneath objects. If you have a lot of clutter on your shelving, take that away so the lizard won’t scurry down and hide among your stuff.
Walk toward the lizard in the direction of the exit. Have your friend block the most likely place where the lizard will try to run. Keep walking toward the lizard and heading him off when he tries to hide. Move him closer and closer to the exit until he leaves of his own accord.
Some people find that lizards are afraid of peacock feathers. Try using a peacock feather to sweep the lizard along if you have one handy. It couldn’t hurt![3] X Research source
Lizards are attracted to homes for moisture, food source, and habitat. So you should dry out standing water or chronic wet areas. Remove the food sources for lizards like insects, small arthropods, and slugs.
Patch holes in your home with hardware cloth to keep lizards out. Use caulk and door seals to make it more difficult for critters to come in. Have screens on your windows and make sure they close tightly.
