There's been a lizard running around our house, and we can't catch him. He's in my room now. I'm tired of it :grumpy:

I hope not. People let their iguanas escape now and then.hypnagogue said:What, no Komodo dragons?
I didn't know they could stand upright. That's kinda unnerving.hypnagogue said:Speaking of docile and peaceful...
That's what inspired that famous Yakov Smirnoff joke: "In Soviet Russia, Komodo dragon walks you!"zoobyshoe said:I didn't know they could stand upright. That's kinda unnerving.
I suspect it was already dead and they hung it from the tree to attract a Komodo dragon for a photo shoot.Townsend said:Is that a pig? Who heck tied it upside down in a tree like that? Seems cruel to me..
If the lizard is small and harmless, you can simply try to catch it with a net or a cup and release it outside. If it is a larger or potentially dangerous species, it is best to contact a professional wildlife removal service.
Lizards are excellent climbers and can easily find their way inside through small cracks or openings in doors or windows. They may also accidentally be brought inside on plants or other objects.
Most lizards found in and around homes are harmless to humans. However, if you are unsure of the species or if the lizard appears aggressive or venomous, it is best to avoid contact and seek professional help.
While lizards themselves are not known to cause damage to homes, they may attract other pests such as insects or rodents. It is important to remove the lizard and any food sources it may be attracted to in order to prevent potential damage.
To prevent lizards from entering your house, make sure to seal any cracks or openings around doors and windows. Also, keep plants and other objects away from the exterior of your home to prevent lizards from climbing inside. If the problem persists, you may also want to consider installing screens on your doors and windows.
