We never show mercy. Drowning is the least messy way once they are in a trap. As for lizards, we have found that raw egg shells repels them. So the next time you make fried or steam eggs try leaving a couple of egg shells by the window sill. <strong>Raw egg shells, okie dokie, I shall try.</strong> Just keep trapping them and eventually, hopefully, they’ll be rid off.
