How can I keep lizards off my porch?

I know they are not supposed to hurt you, but I just can stand them. Snakes are worse of course, but I don't want to see either one of them. Help???

They are great in bug control. Fear not, they are very afraid of you too :)

  I'm not trying to be sarcastic in any way here...I do have them everywhere, even when I plant in the Spring, they are deep in my planters and I am careful digging. They are really fun to watch actually. I have never, ever once had one come anywhere near me or my husband in all these years. They are harmless. The broad headed Skink is the one that will bite if threatened. I can understand the apprehension though :)

Have heard crushed eggshells somewhat deter them.. Also heard if you have them and frogs, there may not be snakes around...Just heard...not sure
