A lizard can live in your house up to 5 years which is the lifespan of a lizard.

As long as there is a food source, moisture etc lizards can remain in your house until you get rid of them.

You can make a lizard trap by using a cardboard box with some clear plastic on the sides and top.

Then make it so that a clear flap goes inwards but traps the lizard inside once they are in.

Place some insects into the lizard trap to make it more attractive.

You can also place a small box with some food or insects on a glue trap and the lizards will be attracted to that as well and get stuck on the glue trap.

You can kill lizards fast by using a shovel to cut them up and chop them or use a lizard trap to trap them or glue traps where they will eventually die.

Lizards refer to all squamate reptiles other than snakes, encompassing over 7,000 species, ranging across all continents except Antarctica, as well as most oceanic island chains.

The grouping is paraphyletic as some lizards are more closely related to snakes than they are to other lizards.

The natural habitat of lizards ranges from tropical rain forests and jungles to parched and arid areas of the world.

Many factors influence your lizard's health and well-being such as light, heat, humidity, stress, nutrition, and hydration.

Lizards actually can be quite affectionate.

Many appear to enjoy cuddling or sitting on their humans, and some even become lap lizards.

However, some of these tiny dinosaurs only feel comfortable being handled or petted by their owners.

Don't expect too much from a strange reptile.

Lizards often enjoy hanging out in small or covered spaces.

Look under any couches, chairs, desks, bookshelves, or tables in the room.

Closets, vents, baseboards, cushions, and potted plants are also popular places for lizards to hide.

Lifespans of the most recommended lizards can range from 10 to 30 years.
