Onion and garlic? That should keep away vampires too.
I've had probably a dozen wild snakes and several lizards in my farm house in the 28 years I've lived here. We pretty much ignore them but I do have two shovels inside my house in case a copperhead comes in.

I heard that cats sometimes would caught small lizards, since they are predators
There is no way I could seal all the entry holes in my house. The garage door has space under it when down and the door from the garage to living room also doesn't fit well.

A cat is a great idea. I've been wanting one anyway. I talked to one of my friends today and she is going to come help me sort and discard the clutter in my house.It isn't so much sweeping and mopping that I need but someone to help me sort books, clothes, toys and stuff that I am not using.
