You may need to use a flashlight to see into dark spaces. Lizards often like hiding behind hanging items, such as frames, on the wall.
Alternatively, if you have a cat, you can get your cat to catch the lizard. Keep in mind, however, that the cat will probably kill the lizard, so this may only be an option if the lizard is wild.
If you can’t find a wild lizard loose in your home, it may be easier to repel it using eggshells, mothballs, and other common household goods than it will be to catch it.
Try not to touch the lizard with the object. Move it towards the lizard to encourage it to run towards the box, but avoid hitting the lizard. Do not use your hand to grab or chase the lizard. This could cause the lizard’s tail to fall off. The lizard might even bite you.
You can also gently tip the lizard out of the container as long as you hold it close to the ground.
This is a good option if you have a very large lizard loose in your home.
