Don't know if this actually works, but a friend swears by it -- fabric softener sheets along the edges of the lanai. Apparently the anoles don't like the smell. She says she puts them down about every two weeks for a day and hasn't had an anole on the lanai since. My cats live on the lanai, truly think it's the cats' meow so to speak, so the anoles do not come in mylanai at all -- just sit where the girls can see them and go crazy wanting to play tag with the little critters.
