Chipkalis (lizards) are common household pests across Pakistan, especially in cities like Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Sialkot, and beyond. They crawl on walls and ceilings, often entering kitchens and bedrooms — causing discomfort and fear among residents.
Over the years, people have relied on various home remedies and myths to get rid of lizards, but not all are effective. In this post, Apex Core Enterprises breaks down the most common myths about chipkali control and shares what actually works to keep your home lizard-free.
Myth #1: Eggshells Keep Lizards Away
The belief: Placing eggshells in corners scares lizards away by making them think a predator is nearby.
The truth: There is no scientific evidence supporting this claim. Eggshells may dry out and become ineffective, and worse, they can attract ants or cockroaches instead.
✅ What works: Sealing entry points and eliminating insect food sources will keep lizards from entering your home in the first place.
Myth #2: Garlic or Onion Spray Repels Lizards
The belief: The smell of garlic or onion drives lizards away.
The truth: While strong odors may deter lizards temporarily, they are unlikely to eliminate an infestation. Lizards adapt quickly and will return if food (like insects) is still present.
✅ What works: Professional lizard control sprays by Apex Core are odorless, effective, and long-lasting — safe for use around children and pets.
Myth #3: Naphthalene Balls Can Chase Away Lizards
The belief: Lizards hate the smell of naphthalene (mothballs).
The truth: Naphthalene balls can be harmful to humans and pets if inhaled or ingested. Plus, their effectiveness against lizards is unproven and temporary.
✅ What works: Using lizard repellent gel or spray applied near light fixtures, corners, and ventilation areas — combined with professional pest services.
Myth #4: Lizards Only Enter Dirty Homes
The belief: If your home is clean, lizards won’t appear.
The truth: Even the cleanest homes can attract lizards if there are insects, open windows, or warm hiding spots. Lizards are drawn to mosquitoes, flies, ants, and other bugs — not dirt.
✅ What works: Getting rid of insects (the lizard’s food source) is key. Our integrated pest control service removes all pests, cutting off the food supply that attracts lizards.
