They are 'anole' lizards. They do not bite. They are afraid of you and will hide from you. They eat bugs and worms. They keep your lanai clear of insects. They are harmless. Ignore them.

If a cat gets one, it will make him/her sick. Has happened to ours.

Who would even think of setting glue traps for these little scamps?

So sad. What a horrible way to die. A breeding area for mold and bacteria--hogwash. Vacuum the droppings up.

I’ve used various methods from inside lanai, but I think an outside method would function and look more pleasing. Sheet metal from aluminum used as wiper has not deterred them.......help!

My cat gets them

Our cats usually torment and play with them. I think word got out among the Anole world our two cats are hunting them as we see less Anoles in our house now. I have saved a few from certain death and released them outside.:ho:
