I am over run with lizards in pasco fl

Question

how to deter them

Answer 1

Since they are native to florida you won,t get rid of them. They are harmless and do eat lots of spiders and other bugs. I,m in sw florida and down here they have a major problem with huge iguanas, especially on Boca Grande island. They have been multiplying fast and are nasty. They are like 4 feet long and are called razorbacks because of the spikes on their backs. They can inflict a nasty bacterrial bite and they are spending thousands to try to get rid of them. Be thankful you just have the little geckos.

Answer 2

Less insects, less lizards.

If you spread down some granular insecticide http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=pr... that will drastically reduce their food supply, sending the lizards packing.

Hope this was helpful,

Good Luck,  ;-)

Answer 3

I'm assuming you mean Gecko's. I live in Sebring, FL and we have them too (can you say GEICO Gecko?? lol). They are harmless really, and eat insects etc. The only gecko to be concerned with is one that has a blue tail - if you have pets and they get ahold of one of those, they can be poisonous to a dog or cat. Other than that, that's one of the "benefits" of living in Florida......along with Palmetto bugs and other "flora and fauna".

Answer 4

Get rid of their food supply.   Most likely they're eating a bunch of bugs you would be over run with if they weren't there, so don't worry too much.
