Apart from that, as reported by hpsc.ie, lizards are animals that carry and pose a risk of disease to humans, such as salmonella, leptospirosis, E. coli, and parasitic worms. In order to prevent this, driving away lizards is one effective measure.

Basically, the use of salt, garlic, vinegar and dish soap as lizard repellents is based on the natural characteristics of these ingredients which can irritate and keep lizards away. Salt can irritate lizard skin and cause dehydration, while garlic contains sulfur compounds which have a strong aroma and are not liked by lizards.
On the other hand, vinegar has a very strong sour smell and is not liked by lizards. Its acidic nature also irritates the lizard's skin. Meanwhile, dish soap can disrupt the lizard's respiratory system because it contains chemicals that can make it difficult for the reptile to breathe. By using these materials, you can create an uncomfortable environment for the lizard, so that the animal will leave and tend to avoid the house.
