Use a leaf blower and blow them out.

I have been here almost 4 years and I think I have had only a single anole in my lanai, find out how they are getting into the lanai and fix that issue!

Go on Amazon . They have a lizard repellant that is peppermint oil and the lizards hate it. Non toxic to you.

Default Seal any & all tiny holes.

We got some foam noodles & stuffed them in along the floor where the house meets the lanai floor. No more snakes or lizards.

Default Buy some Brass wool

Jam some Brass-wool into the screen door(s) thresholds.
Got rid of mine. Of course the very small ones can come into any French drain you may have on your decks. Carefully screen those outside openings.

I also bought a lizard repellent- works somewhat, but rain washes it way.
