How to Catch a Lizard That You Lost in Your Home
- 1). Search areas of your house that provide hiding spaces for a lizard. Lizards hide when scared, so check under furniture, behind appliances and in corners.
- 2). Check your garage or utility room for your lizard. Most species of lizards feed on insects, so your lizard will hide where there is access to food.
- 3). Look for the lizard near water sources. Lizards need access to water to survive but they do not require much. Check in your bathroom or in your kitchen.
- 4). Check near any plants that you have in your house, whether they are real or fake. Real plants will provide a water supply for the lizard. The leaves also offer an excellent hiding space and a chance for the lizard to blend in.
- 5). Catch the lizard once you find it. Corner the lizard if possible. Place a jar or glass over the lizard. Typically, the lizard will try to escape, running up the side of the jar. When it does, lift the jar, slightly, and slide a paper plate underneath. This will allow you to safely transport the lizard back outside.
