Attack of the Lizardmen

Beware fair citizens! Keep your women and children safe at home! Shut the windows and bar the doors!

For in the dead of night the beast roams the streets of the city!

Even now I hide curled up under the thick bedcovers with a single flickering candle lit against the creeping darkness. Listen to the eerie snicker made by the cunning critters as they scurry across the tiles. Though the doors are locked tight with multiple steel bolts yet the evil monsters come knocking. Teeth shiny sharp and flesh icy cold yet with glittery eyes full of wicked glee.

Confused
Hello? Help! I am being attacked by lizards!

Who knew that this city by the sea has been lethally infested with creepy crawly lizards.

Seriously. In every corner. In every crevice. Under the table. Under your shoe. They seem to be everywhere. Possibly even more lizards in the house than there are people in the city. That's the wild jungle for you!

Cleaning the house doesn't seem to do the trick. Shutting all the windows and doors don't seem to work. Spraying the area with anti-lizard works but just for a lil while. Short of razing the entire village into the ground for miles around, I doubt there's much I can do to get rid of them.

Tried googling of course but all I got were weird herbal remedies. Getting pussies to prey on them? Broken eggshells by the windows? Peacock feathers in pots to scare them away? Do these actually work? Surprised no one's suggested a rain dance to get rid of these pests.

Seriously. Why doesn't Martha Stewart come up with a lizard repellent?

Try looping Macarena on your iPod and blast it out loud throughout the day. That usually annoys the crap out of them pests :) hur hur

My brother used to organize hunting expeditions. Rubbers bands over thick manila card.

My Bali guide said that the noises the geckos make can be used to make predictions.

hmmm actually its very relevant to the food, their food i mean. so if ur house there got lots mosquito and insects, then the chances are you have to get used to their existence :P
the other way is, you can invite froggie and his whole gang to your house for some frenly fights for food :P

You can get those lizard traps sold in most supermarkets.

Its a box-like case formed like a little tunnel. Place it behind the fridge etc, the lizard walks into it and get stuck inside becos the inner wall is a wicked sticker material.
