Lizard

Belonging to the reptile family, Lizards are often known to be harmless and cold-blooded creatures. Although some may be afraid, Lizards do not attack or harm human beings directly unless provoked.

If attacked on, Lizards are known to bite, as one of the defence mechanisms. Most of the house Lizards are harmless and therefore their bite may not be poisonous, nevertheless, it is painful.

However, their faeces are known to be highly poisonous and cause serious illness which can even be life-threatening.
In addition, Lizards are also known to carry diseases. This is why frequent pest control can help repel Lizards and ensure health and safety for your premises.
