Does anybody know how to trap them for release? I don't want to harm them. They hide in dark places and under things, so snatching them up is impossible.
Yes, they eat bugs. But they also poop, and I paid a lot of money to have my garage floor finished.

I don't think they are too dumb to find their way out. They have simply found a nice shelter and source of food, and are comfortable.
I doubt that you will ever have an Anole-free garage. Any time the garage door is opened is an opportunity for them to scamper in and hide. I don't know of any practical method of trapping them without harming them.
At my house in Tampa they even get into my tightly screened pool deck where the doors to the outside are seldom opened. I have learned to admire their tenacity and to co-habitate amiably.
Since they do not bite, harm furniture, carry disease or taste good (as far as I know,) I would not consider killing them.
