Occasionally I am invaded by small lizards (6-8"). They come in through tiny
cracks under the screen door or when the doors is left open inadvertently.
They probably thrive and grow on a feast of ants and insects.

They are lighting fast and hide under the bed and places like that.

They probably do no harm. I would prefer to get rid of them, though. Any
ideas?

You would rather have ants and insects?

(Are you sure they are 8"?! Where the heck are you?)

Must live in a barn in the desert!

What he needs is a 'lizard catcher'

This technique probably wouldn't work on the lizards I met in the deserts of
Kuwait which are about the size of small Volkswagens and travel at Mach 2
speed (at least when you step on them by mistake when they bury themselves
in the sand!). The first time that happened I almost had the 'big one',
probably wasn't too pleasant for the lizard either but WTF!

Hey Jay, they sound like the lizards in Mexico. I left my room at a resort
and there was a big black Iguana on the lawn about 3 feet long.....when you
are standing there in your swim suit barefoot...well that'll scare the *&%$
out of ya!....Ross

Living in Florida,I was laying on a loungechaise at the pool,and a lizard
leaps from nearby foliage onto my shoulder.
It didn't scare me,but a lady friend next to me screamed bloody murder and
jumped up,moved a few feet away.

I just put an open paper bag in front of the lizard,and come at it from
behind,chasing the lizard into the bag,then out the door for release.
