Why lizards are afraid of peacock feathers and how to use them to keep your home lizard-free

Lizards instinctively flee from peacock feathers. The feathers' eyespots mimic predator eyes, triggering a survival response. Their shimmering colors also suggest movement, further alarming the reptiles. This natural aversion allows peacock feathers to be used as a safe, chemical-free repellent for homes. Placement near entry points and common lizard spots is recommended.
