I just catch them with gold fish net and let go out in yard by my pepper plants so they can catch insects attacking them.

I honestly just don't get the concern at all. LTLO, they are not even a threat to anyone; we are a thousand times their size. What is really your issue?

Greg, I had a screen installed across my lanai doors. Can keep the doors open for a nice breeze, screens open to get into the lanai

We did two things to get rid of lizards in our lanai. First, we used parts of a steel wool pad under the threshold holes, as we were told that is one way they get in. Secondly, we got a heavy flower pot and put it against the outside door to get a tight seal of the door. After a few months we could remove the flower pot and the door continued to have a good seal. Of course, if you have gaps elsewhere then you need to close them with caulking or whatever is appropriate for where the gaps are.

Gregg, I had many newborn anoles in a plant on my lanai. I sprinkled cinnamon in my plants & no more anoles. I repeat every few months and they have never returned.

Leave them alone is by far the best way.

For me just hearing them scurrying about in my bedroom while I'm trying to sleep gives me the creeps. They obviously leave a bunch of poop too.
