Will this get rid of reptiles? I have small lizards in my backyard and want to know if this will prevent them from coming into my home?

The short answer is . . . I don't know. To expand somewhat on that, I must say that my initial endorsement of this product has been tarnished of late by the discovery of spiders and a mouse in our house that surprised me. I don't know that it's fair to expect any product to by 100% effective, however. The mouse may have wandered in by accident and was on his way out when our cat nabbed him. Who knows. We live in the country, so to expect there to be never a spider ever is unrealistic. And the ones we've seen are few and far between. But reptiles? I would think they would be as susceptible to the product as any other critter. These little lizard guys run loose anywhere they want to go and some will stupidly come in even if the device is working perfectly. That's my take. Hope this helps.

I don't know. I got mine for mice inside, and it seems to work for flies and ants, but haven't tried it outside.If I were you, I'd check the Riddex Company, to ask them. Sorry, I couldn't really be of much help.

I can't say for sure, but based upon them recommending that if you have small reptile pets that you shouldn't use these, I would say they probably work for small lizards. They are pretty cheap so it's probably worth a shot.

I don't know. I have only squirls and chipmonks in addition tpo spiders and it keeps them out.

I disagree on this. If you have a home like mine that was designed for the NW but is in the midsouth-there is no possible way to control them coming in purely from a design factor. If you read anything about eliminating them indoors all the articles will tell you an exterminator does no good. People, they can come in through a door! It seems to me that you hang this up in the room where there is the most issue and clean it 2-3 times/week. Mine infestation is ALL indoors. I will leave feedback once I have used it but sounds like a winner inside or out.

We used it to keep squirrels out of our veggie garden. We built a metal mesh fence around the garden and attached it to the fence post. Then we bought plastic fastener to attach to the metal fence to hold the wire. We got these at the farming supply store. The ends of the wire attach to a post on the bottom of the unit. Then we attached the other end to another post and ran the extension of that piece to a ground post that we bought and installed. Hope it helps. It really kept the squirrels out of the garden without killing them Really freaked a few out though. Don't touch it with wet hands! We used it to keep squirrels out of our veggie garden.

You should be able to remove snake and reuse the snake trap. We haven't caught any snakes yet, so I can't give any real experiences.

Yes, it got rid of my raccoons anyway. They were defecating on our waterfall. I put the scarecrow on one side aiming for the waterfall. I didn't get any more "deposits" for at least 2 weeks. Then I noticed a "deposit" on the other side (out of scarecrow's reach) next to the waterfall. I almost bought an extra one but thought about it first and tried a clever and cheaper route. I moved the scarecrow to the side...The raccoons therefore THOUGHT I had scarecrows on both sides and thusly avoided both sides due to paranoid conditioned response. It's been a couple of months and no more "surprises".

It would certainly work to contain the lizard at the outset but I am not sure how sharp its teeth are nor if it would chew at the mesh and escape. If lizards have the tendency to be docile and submissive then it will remain within the confines of the playpen. Our dog has not chewed at any part of the play pen as of yet. Also, I have washed the playpen with soap and water and it is as good as new again.

Hi, yes it does kill spiders. We had 2 major bug problems and that was with fleas in the back yard and black widows around our garage. It helped tremendously with both. The trick is to lay down a light layer of the earth along the wall creases and corners if you are putting it on the inside of your house. You only want to do a light layer at first because you want them to walk through it, if it's too much they may avoid the area all together. Then after a week you lay down another light layer just to keep it fresh and to catch any stragglers that may still be out. I only dusted the inside of our house around our windows cause that's where they seemed come in at but we mainly used it outside. We dusted our whole back yard with it and then along the sides of the garage. Keep in mind to only lay it in the dry areas outside because if you lay it in an area that's always moist it won't do any good. But again same process, light layer at first, wait a week and then refresh or refresh anytime after it rains. Keep in mind it does take a few days for the bugs to die and they have to have walked through it in the first place but still it is effective. The fleas dropped pretty well after the first layer and as long as we keep up on refreshing the yard with it they are pretty much kept at bay. The spiders took a little longer but I think it's just because they took longer to walk through it. I hope this helps. :)

dont really know but i am sure it might help some but only in any enclosed area like a garage, small home. there are systems that are made for the outside of a home or garage. that kind helps with racoons, possums, mice, deer, rabbits & some birds & other critters, good lUCK !!!

Ive only used on the outside fence, not on the inside. The dogs seemed fine with it as it has district smell. I actually liked it but I'm sure its not good for you. Ive only had one rattle snake since I used it, and two rodent snakes. Very small ones. Seems to help a little.

I doubt it will bring them out of your house. Try to centralize/attract them to a water sponge in the house, then take them out as a group. They will only remain where there is a water source.

It wasn't my intent, but I once caught a 2-foot black garter snake with these glue traps. It wasn't happy. They will do almost anything trying to get away. It probably stumbled into the garage overnight. I took it to the woods and let it go.Hope this helps.

I bought a couple of these a few years ago and thought that it worked because I didn't think I was noticing as many spiders in my house.My kids started to unplug these from the walls and I was tired of findin them and putting them back in so I don't have them plugged in anymore. I do not notice an increase in spiders in my house.I would pass in purchasing this and spray around the perimeter of your house with an insect killer.

NO, it will not. I use it all over my gardens to repel Bunnies and it works 100%. I have a dog and it does not "repel" her from the garden.

That would work well. I don't spray outside...just inside and in the garage. I spray a barrier along the garage door bottom, all corners, and any place that looks like a haven for spiders. I also spray along the base of all the entry doors, under the sinks, behind appliances, and along baseboards. This stuff works great if you do it a couple times a year. I treat my house in the fall and again in the spring. I live in Mississippi near a bayou so there are plenty of bugs out there but they don't bother coming inside when I use this stuff.

Snakes have very sensitive smell ability and it is the bad smell that repels them. Ask your lizards if they are repelled by bad smells. ;-)

I do not know. I use the netting to keep snakes out of the bird houses. It does do this.

T. Jee No this product is good for mosquito's. This past summer it really help me out in the yard. I can't help or suggest what you can do to rid yourself of lizards. Take care
