Brilio.net - The presence of lizards in the house is indeed disturbing . How could it not be, this reptile often crawls on the walls of the house and then drops droppings carelessly. Like it or not, you have to diligently sweep the floor of your house, especially if there is lizard droppings.
What's even more annoying is that these reptiles often eat the food or dishes served on the table. On the other hand, as reported by medicalnewstoday.com, the lizard's body contains escherichia coli bacteria . As a result, food that is already contaminated with lizard bacteria can no longer be consumed.
To get around this, a number of people use various methods to reduce the lizard population at home. The way that is often done is to make traps. Just use simple materials and tools to make a trap. Then put food as bait. After installing it overnight, the lizard will enter the trap.
But for those who don't have time to make a trap, you can mix a special liquid to repel lizards. Unfortunately, sometimes this method is not effective because the lizards still roam around the house.
As another alternative, you can imitate the method done by YouTube user Creative Ideas. In his video upload, this netizen admitted that he had his own trick to get rid of lizards in his house without needing a trap.
"Just use this, the house will be free from lizards forever," he wrote in the video caption.
Tricks to get rid of lizards don't require using traps or poison.
First, prepare the required ingredients first. The main ingredient that must be present is eucalyptus oil. Because the amount used is only a small amount, you can use eucalyptus oil that you already have at home.

Then take one additional ingredient in the form of kitchen spices, namely onions. In his video upload, this netizen used both types of onions, namely shallots and garlic. Take one clove of each type.
"Peel it then we cut it like this," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Creative Ideas on Wednesday (6/3).
