Natural lizard deterrents?

First of all, I hope this is in the right place.

Second of all, I'm sorry this is an odd question.

Anyway, I have been getting a LOT of wild lizards in the house lately. I came walking up the drive the other day and one was sunning himself in my windowsill from the inside. One was sitting on my tv set, and when I went to get the vacuum cleaner out of the closet, one was sitting on it.

I am PETRIFIED of lizards. I literally stood in the middle of the room and cried that day, because I was afraid to touch anything. So I want them out but I don't want to hurt them. We can't figure out how they get in, but where we live there are a multitude of cracks and holes in the building. So, is there a natural way to deter them from coming into the house?

We have spoken to the landlord about fixing the cracks and whatnot. I think hell will freeze over before that gets done... :(

Im guessing were talking about anoles? The little green ones that sometimes have a red half-circle beard? Really there is not a good that I can think of to stop these unless like you said fix the gaps. These are completely harmless lizards, and will only bite if you really make them mad, the most you'd have to worry about is them jumping. I picked one up yesterday and it showed no aggression what so ever!
