      Oh, ur pets so good :? I hv the same pets too but I think they dun like ants 👅


      Our lizards more high class lor, prefer the leftover foods than live ants. Or maybe they too lazy and fat, cant chase after tiny fast moving ants :lol:[/quote]ya my house lizards oso eat e food we threw in e dustbins.. anyone knows how to get rid of them? they seem to crawl in from corridors or windows.. i's so scared of them 😢

          lizards are pest like ants… they leave unsightly droppings everywhere… my mom leave egg shells on the floor to keep them out… heard that peacock feathers do the same trick…


          for ants, i use ant bait… u can get them at some DIY home fix stores… they look like mini yellow balls and the ants feed on them, bring back to nest and feed to the colony… worked for me

            I dislike LIZARDS and ANTS too.. :x


            I cant do anything to the lizards coz firstly, I scare of them. Secondly, nothing can kill them.. 😢 even how much I spray baygon on them still no use. So as long as they dont come and bother me. I close one eye on the dropping too.

            For the ants, I use hot water to clean the table and floor wherever they crawl. It takes few days before they are gone totally. I believe its the raining season which caused the ants to crawl into our house. :stupid:

              when you see your lizards crawling on the wall or ceiling, play some rock music, and when they clap their hands / feet, make sure you have plastic bags on standby to catch them ....hee hee heee

                    putting egg shells will dirty the floor right? even if your mom had cleaned them...

                        rock-a-bye baby makes them sleep so snugly how to drop off ?

                        no need to catch them, it will drop into your plastic bags or container once they dance to the tune ...... :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
