^^^ Strongly agreed with Saipranav; Lizards are more friendly in eating up the insects & protecting than causing troubles. If they grow in good numbers & start falling off the roof when fighting, then, probably use the sprays. Otherwise, Lizards are not harmful creatures.

I use a tobacco leaf tied in a mesh bag in my car engine bay, keeps the rats away, will be using it on the bike as well, no idea where to get it from, my watchman had brought it for me from Bengal. Cheap, effective and no nasty chemicals required, we also use ratol in our compound every few months.

You get excellent Tobacco leaves/dried rolled ones from KL; may be you need to ping guys from KL who can help you.

That tobacco thing really works. Worked well on my car. Don't know how long it will last though.
Aargee sir any inputs?

**Prith** · 10-17-2011, 12:55 PM

I cleared this menace on my bike by keeping a small piece of rat kill cake

below the seat. Also few naphthalene balls

and a cotton wool soaked in baygon insect repellent.

Found the mortal remains of my enemy just few feet away from my bike a day later

. Battle won for now.

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.

Aargee , go easy on em' creatures

.
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

.

Ok droping lizards from target list

Tried some shops for mouse glue but it is not available will look in some big supermarkets ...

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.

Ironicaly you will find that rat-glue thingy in small local household-groceries shops .
You'll get whole tobacco leafs from the guys who sells chewing tobbacco (khaini-wala) on the street-sides .
Napthalene balls useless for this purpose , it hardly works for wool moths, same for baygon spray etc .

Yeah Pinaki..

. Fit of rage always gets the best of me.

. I searched my whole house for the best arsenal that I can get and this was something that I found in plenty. But strangely, this smell tends to deter rodents if its in a closed environment .. I have noticed it with the local brands (road side vendors) not sure if it indeed is Naptha product or some other aromatic compound .. worth a shot I would say.

Dried red chillies tied around the wires work very well.

Awww nooo !! Now I have a neibourhood cat problem !

Looks like they are entering my garage and sleeping on the seat at night .. leaving dusty paw prints on the seat and stripping bits off the foam seat with their sharp claws .... apparently in their attempts to climb on to the bike seat

Just make sure that the mouse/rat doesn't get water to drink after eating the rat kill cake. Or else.. it will be back with a vengeance.
