First of all, make sure that it's legal for you to catch a lizard in your particular area. What I would suggest doing is catching one or two and keeping them for a few weeks or so and then turn the lizard(s) back loose near where you captured it.
You need to use care when you're catching one. I suggest you use a butterfly net. If you try to catch them by hand, you will end up breaking the lizard's tail, and it will escape from you. Here in North Carolina, we have a lot of Anoles and a lot of Blue Tail Skinks.
In their native habitat, Anoles make great natural pest control because they eat a lot of bugs. I put large flat rocks with some room under them to encourage the Anoles to hang around my garden. I also see Blue Tail Skinks all the time. Both of these lizards can be captured with a small net, like a butterfly net, and you can keep them in a 10-gallon tank with a reptile top on it to prevent them from getting away.
