Brilio.net - The presence of lizards in the house is often a problem. These reptiles often crawl on the walls and leave their droppings carelessly, forcing the occupants of the house to clean the floor more often. In addition, lizards can also be annoying by eating food that is left open. According to medicalnewstoday.com, the lizard's body contains Escherichia coli bacteria, so contaminated food is not safe to consume. To overcome this problem, many people try various ways to reduce the lizard population at home.
One common method is to make a trap using simple materials and tools, with food as bait. After being set overnight, the lizard will be trapped. For those who do not have time to make a trap, a special liquid to repel lizards can be an alternative. However, the effectiveness of this liquid is sometimes less than optimal because lizards are still often seen roaming around.
As an alternative, you can imitate the method used by YouTube user Ide Kreatif. In his video upload, this netizen claims to have his own trick to get rid of geckos in his house without the need for traps.
"Just use this, your house will be free from lizards forever," he wrote in the video caption.
