If it,s the mystic one rising from the ashes like the proverbial Pheonix, I usually find a bucket of water does the trick.

Tell it to go away, shoo shoo shoo ?

Show it a photograph of my mother in law.

Pick it up and move it to a new home...........

Ensure that you are wearing purple...Purple is the universal colour and goes with everything... don't you know.

Look the salamander straight in the eyes so that the salamander is certain that you are serious.  If you have a bad back raise the salamander up... but not too high... salamanders don't always land on their feet and many of them suffer with vertigo.

Begin humming... this puts the salamander at ease... slowly bring the hum up to the level above normal speach but not yelling it out like a rock star.

Repeat these words, "Go Salamander Go.  This is not a place for you to sow." 

"Run Salamander Run for I fear I may bar-b-que you under this fine sun." 

"Live Salamander Live.  It is the present for me to give." 

"Laugh Salamander Laugh. and...  Walk thee self down my garden path." 

This is when you bow to the salamander and then say, "Live long and prosper."

I didn't make any of this up... go to www.salamandersareourpals.com

Why would you want to banish this creature?  I have them in my garden and they cause no problem, in any case they are a protected species.

Put up a sign that says NO salamander's allowed.
