        For rodents use this -

        Though the same product may not be available here, but, you'll get similar product to do the job

        For lizards, there're 2 approaches...
        1. Keep away all the insects that surrounds your bike; this means, you'll need to spray bug repellent around the bike, if not everyday, atleast every alternate days. So the repellent not only keeps the bug away, but also the lizards that come in search of the bugs
        2. Use Laxman Rekha chalk & draw a border around the bike, if you're parking on cement floor; if its on mud floor, then, you've no option other than to powder the chalk(s) & make a boundary.

          Thanks aargee , will keep rat kill under the seat , the idea of laxman rekha chalk is good but as i park bike on cement floor but near wall so there might be chances of lizard jumping from wall , will draw that cholks line on wall to .

            Lizards jump off the wall out of fear or mishaps & not to catch prey, unless the lizards at your place are spooky

                a good repellent spray should help matters. Else keep napthalene balls in a cloth bag around the engine area. ( dont forget to remove when riding off ).

                  Mortein Rat Kill is also good. I had problems like this on the car and simply used to place the rat kill tablets in places where i used to see rat poop. This is best way apart from this there is the mouse glue traps which is quite disgusting as you will have to pick and throw the dead rat away yourself.

                  The final option you have is get yourself a CAT...

                    ok so no worry about walls , have to draw the choke line around ground.

                    Tomorrow going to buy the mortein rat kill , the glue thing is new to me looks cool idea but i don't want to lift the death bodies of rats
                    Cat idea is always good but it can damage the beaty of bike by producing lots more crashes on it .

                    One of guy told me to keep a pot near bike with water so as when rat eats mortein rat kill , due to pison his body heats & he goes toward cold place , water so they will be come to this water & you can thow them .

                          Chewing wires is typical rodent behavior . So you can safely rule out lizards etc . It can be either mouse/rat or a mole . If it is a mole , you can tell that by the typical ugly smell they leave . Stop applying that boatload of poisonous stuff to the bike .
                          Try the mouse glue-trap , it is most amazingly effective . They get entangled in it alive . If possible , release them at some distant forested site . The ones around here don't even touch rat-kill .

                            Take my word, you can use Mortein spray to kill EVEN rats, just that they take a lot of time to die; for instance, I've used it on toads/frogs, but they take their own sweet time to die, but my purpose was to make it immovable which happens in about 10-15 mins.

                            Lizards DO die with these sprays; I've done it & still doing it within our house.

                              BTW, just wanted to share something.
                              I dont think lizards will ever mess with your bike. They are not interested/capable of it(Their teeth structure isnt made to eat a wire)(They just eat insects bro, nothing much).
                              So, dont kill lizards, just kill the rats, thats enough...
                              P.S. Don't think i love lizards or something, i have a terrible phobia of lizards, i'm just saying that there is no need to kill them.
