Understanding Lizard Infestations

Lizards (छिपकली), particularly house geckos, are common in Gwalior homes and can seem harmless as insect hunters. However, their droppings contaminate food, surfaces, and utensils with Salmonella. In large numbers they become a significant hygiene concern, and for many residents cause real distress. Shakti Pest Control provides humane, effective lizard management.

Our Lizard Treatment Process

Assessment

Technicians identify entry points, harborage areas, and lizard population to determine the appropriate exclusion and treatment strategy.

Repellent Application

Eco-safe lizard repellent is applied around entry points, walls, and harborage areas. Lizards dislike the scent and avoid treated surfaces.

Glue Board Trapping

Non-toxic sticky boards placed along skirting boards and behind furniture capture lizards humanely for safe removal.

Exclusion Proofing

Entry points — gaps around pipes, cables, window frames, and doors — are sealed to prevent re-entry after the existing population is removed.

Prevention Tips

Reduce outdoor lighting that attracts insects lizards feed on

Seal gaps around window frames, pipes, and door gaps

Keep the home free of smaller insects (the lizard's food source)

Use citrus or pepper-based natural repellents as supplementary deterrents

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We use only eco-safe repellents and physical exclusion methods. No harmful chemicals are used. Trapping is humane — lizards are removed, not killed.

Lizard droppings can carry Salmonella. Contact with contaminated surfaces or food can cause food poisoning, particularly in young children and the elderly.

Typically one thorough treatment with exclusion work provides long-term results. If the lizard population is large, a follow-up visit in 30 days may be recommended.
