We have very few anoles that come into the lanai, they can come in at the top and bottom of the track. I blow lives ones out gently and vacuum the dead ones up. Spray for bugs outside. But what works most of the time is if they climb the screen I open the lanai sliding door and throw a glass of water at them. They can hear and I use sound, I shoo them off and clap at the same time. The guys are territorial so the same ones come back mostly, and after a week of training when they see me even just open the inside door, they take off.
