Unwanted skinks in my house

Home More advice Pets & Animals

I love animals but I am not fond of lizards. I live in virginia and those skinks keep getting in my house. I am they are harmless, but to me they are quite unattractive and unwanted! Besides, they leave their poop around and they are uninvited. So far I have caught about at least one per week on a sticky trap. I have a friend take it to a wooded area and pry it off with a plastic spoon to release away from my house, but how can I prevent them from coming in? Could I buy lime or boric acid or something to spread around the base of my house? Help! They are givibg me nightmares and they really frighten me. Seriously!
