Cheesedick 1st Gear February 12, 2012 Share February 12, 2012 Hi all, a lizard got in my car somehow. What i'm cheesed of about is that it will creep onto the dashboard while i am driving. Make fun all you want - i am petrified of lizards! And its dangerous when i am on the road freaking out when it pops onto the dash! Any idea how to get rid of it? I've tried putting those sticky lizard traps all over the dashboard but no success so far. i'm having serious thoughts of calling a pest exterminator. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks CD ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitvip Supersonic February 12, 2012 Share February 12, 2012 (edited) Use the sticky "roach trap". which can be found in supermarts! It worked for me. an adult lizard was caught! Position the opening of the trap facing the vent that the lizard appears! Edited February 12, 2012 by Fitvip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmon 1st Gear February 12, 2012 Share February 12, 2012 Park under the sun for the whole day, chances are the lizard prefer cool place to hide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiiuwii 1st Gear February 12, 2012 Share February 12, 2012 yes i second Fitvip's suggestion. Get the Ridsect roach trap. It's a red box with several traps inside then pour the provided bait in the center. Let us know if you've caught that bugger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKiLang 4th Gear February 12, 2012 Share February 12, 2012 (edited) Do it on a sunny day, open all your doors spray wif insecticide, small jets into all the hidden spots, so not to stink up the car. Be prepare other pest will be running out. For instant result. But leave the doors open at least half an hour to get rid of the smell. Did that few days ago, spotted a half size roach strolling around when I'm on the road. Edited February 12, 2012 by KaKiLang Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks CD I used to keep a small one inside previous non-air-con cars for volunteer pest control (no cockcroach). Better than chemicals inhaling with inseticide spray.

SimonTan 2nd Gear February 13, 2012 Share February 13, 2012 (edited) Many times......lizards also hiding in my super4. As I seldom ride it, and it's under canvas in the carpark, lizards and cockroach likes to hide in my bike. Many times while riding my bike in my Sunday shorts.....the insects will crawl into the two pants holes blown open by the winds. Gave me a tingling scare each time. Nowadays I leave those cockroach bait and a sticky trap(Daiso) on my bike to reduce such lizardsa and spiders and cockroaches.

Watwheels Supersonic February 13, 2012 Share February 13, 2012 (edited) I didn't know there are so many bakers in this forum. I rather have a cake dan a baked lizard. Why not get a fake rubber lizard? Dress it up like a female lizard and lure it out? Place it under a portable fluorescent lamp. It will be hard for it to resist. If you dunno the gender get two, one male , one female. Edited February 13, 2012 by Watwheels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
