LIZARD CONTROL PROGRAM IN DUBAI

LIZARD CONTROL SERVICES

While lizards are generally harmless and beneficial in many environments, they can be considered pests in certain situations, particularly when their presence causes issues or discomfort for humans. In commercial settings like restaurants or food storage areas, lizards might be seen as pests because they can potentially contaminate food, which raises sanitation and health concerns. Individuals allergic to lizard proteins or those with a severe fear of reptiles might experience distress if lizards are present in their living or working spaces. Like any animal, lizards produce waste. If they inhabit indoor spaces or congregate in large numbers, their droppings can accumulate, causing hygiene concerns. Certain lizard species might feed on plants or cause damage to gardens or ornamental landscaping, leading to frustration among gardeners or landscapers.

It is critical to understand that lizards are attracted to your house because of their food which is other insects, and thats the reason we consider lizards as a pest indicator. But, if you're dealing with an overpopulation of lizards or have specific concerns, consider calling Hygeia immediately.

COMMON HOUSE GECKO

Also known as the Asian house gecko or common house lizard, this species is widespread and commonly found in urban areas. They are small lizards, typically ranging from 3 to 6 inches in length and is well adapted to living in and around human habitation. They have a flattened body, large eyes with vertical pupils, and adhesive toe pads that allow them to climb on various surfaces. The coloration is variable and can include shades of brown, gray, or pale pink, often with spots or mottling. These geckos are primarily nocturnal, meaning they are active during the night. They emerge after dark to hunt for insects attracted to artificial lights. Common House Geckos are insectivores, feeding on a variety of small insects and spiders. This species is well adapted to urban environments and is commonly found in and around buildings, including houses, warehouses, and other structures. They often inhabit ceilings, walls, and other vertical surfaces.

MEDITERRANEAN HOUSE GECKO

Native to the Mediterranean region, this gecko species has spread to various parts of the world, including North and South America, Asia, and Africa. It has become well-established in urban environments. They are relatively small, with a length ranging from 3 to 5 inches. They have a flattened body, large eyes with vertical pupils, and characteristic toe pads that allow them to climb on various surfaces. The coloration is variable and can include shades of beige, gray, pink, or brown with spots or mottling. Like many gecko species, the Mediterranean House Gecko is nocturnal, being most active during the night. It emerges after dark to hunt for insects attracted to artificial lights. These geckos primarily feed on insects and spiders, making them beneficial for controlling insect populations around homes. Their diet includes moths, flies, ants, and other small invertebrates. They are commonly found in and around buildings, especially in warm climates. It can be seen on walls, ceilings, and other vertical surfaces.

HOW WE CONTROL THEM

Hygeia lizard control techniques are typically humane and focused on minimizing the presence of lizards in specific areas without causing harm to the animals.

• Identification of Species: - Identify the species of lizard involved. Different species may have different habits and require specific approaches.
• Exclusion Measures: - Seal entry points in buildings to prevent lizards from entering. This includes gaps around windows, doors, and utility entrances. Use fine mesh screens on windows and vents to prevent lizards from entering.
• Repellents: - DM Approved lizard repellents may be used around the perimeter of the property.
• Professional Trapping: - Pest control professionals may use specialized traps designed for capturing and removing lizards. These traps are typically humane and can be used for relocation.
• Insect Control: - Since lizards are attracted to insects, controlling insect populations can indirectly help control lizard populations. We follow integrated pest management (IPM) techniques to minimize insect presence.
