I say let nature sort itself out. All wild reptiles live with the risk of parasites. So there's nothing more risky about brown anoles compared to Carolina anoles (the light ones that live in the trees). Brown ones prefer the ground, Carolina ones prefer the trees, so there's not TOO much crossover there. They eat pretty much the same thing, so if you have a lot of them in your yard, it means they're being fed well. That means - you have a LOT of bugs and insects in your yard. They wouldn't thrive there if you didn't. Be grateful they're there to clean up on your behalf.
I've definitely seen a couple or three varieties of anoles around my house lately. But the juveniles are hatched and running around now, some are already mating. So 'tis the season and seeing them is expected.
