My husband used expanding foam under the siding inside the lanai. What a lot of work! cutting it to the right shape etc. Much fewer anoles still got in, but through the tiny holes in the door sliders. I could try to make the holes smaller but since only one or two anoles come in per year, I just use heavy but harmless water spray to train them to get out. I find that it’s always the same anole and his mate. They are hard to train because they are territorial. Sometimes it takes a month of daily persuasion to get them out. But after that they give up and become suspicious even when they are outside and I enter the lanai. They are after insects. What also works, is eliminating the insects the anoles come for, by spraying around a high concentration vinegar - if you have an enclosed lanai.
