I have put a Glad travel container over them, keeping my hand on top to ensure it doesn’t lift too high and it escapes, I slip a piece of paper (I use printer paper, it is thin and large enough for this task) under the container to trap my little visitor. I make sure the paper is over the container as much as possible, then I lift it up, take it all outside, shut the door, put it down, and lift the container. The anole always scampers away as fast as it can. It does take patience to capture them, but I think The time spent is better than finding a dead anole. I had one who did not want to leave and I couldn’t trap. I put a jar lid on the floor with water, daily I checked the water and refilled when necessary. After about two weeks, I saw it on the floor heading for the door. I helped by opening the door. Away it went without even saying thank you.
