Insects and Lizards
Getting rid of lizards and insects in India is nearly impossible. You might get a professional to come and spray the place, but the pests would return within a week or two. Locals are used to this, and it doesn’t bother them; if there’s an ant on their plate, they aren’t annoyed.
