How i can avoid lizards entering into kitchen?

Question

We have a huge kitchen where we cook food for 100 thousand children everyday .Though we have strip curtains,air curtains,......Lizards are entering into kitchen please guide me how i can avoid this?

Answer 1

i would like to see this kitchen that you cook for 100,000 kids a day. i have been a cook for over 20 years and the biggest kitchen was at the US Navy boot camp. I don't think we cooked for that many. At the time it was considered the biggest kitchen in the world. Lizards eat bugs, lesser of the two evils.

Answer 2

put for them salt.. I swear salt is the best method to frightens lizards they hate it! put salt in small invisible quantities in every corner & they'll be gone in 4 days!

Answer 3

wait!  don't get rid of them .. they eat BUGS .. roaches.. do you have roaches?  bet you don't with lizards around

Answer 4

get a cat

Answer 5

Find out where the lizards are coming in from and block it off. I am assuming you live somewhere like Florida with all the wild lizards that run around.

Answer 6

Get a couple of cats, they love to kill them.

Answer 7

there is a kind of aerosol spray that makes the wall slippery, the lizards just freak out and not come near the walls that are sprayed with them, i'm not sure if it's available in your country.

it wears off in about a week or so but it works really well i tried spraying on one while its on the wall and it just drops down and couldn't climb back up and it was so shocked I could pick it up with my hands slowly!

there are also some lizard traps but it's quite in humane, they get stuck onto it and die of starvation.

if it is severe, call pest control.

good luck!

Answer 8

I know what you are talking about.  And actually you don't have to live in the west or south to have them.  I live in the midwest (Indiana) and have trouble keeping them out myself.  I think the best way is to look for and block all of their entry ways into the house.  Mine seem to come in through a corner crack by the back door.  And they seem to some how come up through the fireplace, although I'm not sure how yet.  They are about 4" long.  I catch them in the little sticky traps used for mice all the time.

Answer 9

spray cayine pepper on the floors borders to the outside and on window seals

Answer 10

LOL!! You must live out west or in the south.  Unfortunately those little buggers get in where least expect.  Check and make sure there are no gaps in baseboards or around doors that lead to the outside. Check screens that there are no holes for them to get in around windows and be sure any vents you have that would go outside have screens in place so they can't get into them.

Unfortunately it's a peril of living in those areas and not much you can do.  I've lived in texas and in the south east now and they seem to be everywhere.  They are usually more scared of you than the other way around. definitely keep your food stored in tight locking containers so they can't get into it and just shoo them out with a broom.

Answer 11

Switch to Geico...maybe then, they'll stop calling.

Answer 12

Look in your cookbooks for lizard recipes.     Problem solved.  They won't be coming in fast enough.

Answer 13

Spray any cleaner that is safe but that contains ammonia around doors and windows.  Seal cracks will caulking and make sure screens are free of holes.

Answer 14

A Rat sticky pad.
