Brilio.net - Lizards are animals that are often found in homes. Although they do not bite, the presence of lizards often makes the occupants of the house feel uncomfortable. The movement of lizards that can crawl on walls and even ceilings often makes you anxious, especially if they are already in the kitchen and dining room. Lizards can excrete dirt that can fall and stick to cutlery.
In addition, geckos can also roam around and taste dishes. According to medicalnewstoday.com, geckos contain Escherichia coli bacteria, which can cause diarrhea, stomach ache, and typhus. Therefore, many people try to get rid of geckos from their homes. One way that can be tried is to keep the house clean.
But if it's too late, you can make a trap for lizards . No need to use chemicals that are hard to find, lizard traps can be made by relying on only 2 kitchen ingredients, namely coffee and granulated sugar.
This method was shared by YouTube user @jangyaya. First, prepare a jar that will be used as a trap. Just use a used food jar so that after use it can be thrown away immediately.

Place the trap in an area where the lizard usually passes. Wait for some time, guaranteed the lizard will be trapped. Not without reason, reported by BrilioFood from thespruce.com on Tuesday (11/5), lizards do not like strong aromas, one of which is coffee.

As a result, after being left for 2 hours, the trap that was made also yielded results. Yup, it looks like 2 dead lizards are trapped in the jar. After that, just throw the jar in the trash.
