Lizards are cold blooded animals which thrive in warm climates round the world. They are also called Geckos and they belong to the family Gekkonidae. Most lizards are harmless, however, as they carry a lot of germs, any direct or indirect contact with lizards may prove to be a health risk to humans. Certain plant essential oils from plants such as lemon grass (Cimbopogon winteriana), Eucalyptus globulus, thyme (Thymus vulgaris), etc. are being used for their pest control properties, however, there remains a need for an effective lizard repellent product. The present study was carried out to evaluate the repellency of the test item Lizard Repellent Block against lizards (Hemidactylus frenatus). The test item comprised of Paradichlorobenzene, Terpeniol, Eucalyptus oil, Thymol, Clove Oil and Perfume and it was found to exhibit a high repellency. Thus, results of present study are reflecting that the test item containing Paradichlorobenzene (PDCB) infused with potent essential oils act as a potent Lizard repellent.
