Since Lizards are considered a beneficiai pest, there is not a product label to "kill" them. The best treatment is to use a product to eliminate their food source, insects. Permethrin Granules are labeled for a broad spectrum of pests and provides a good contact kill. Another general purpose granular for the yard and/or concentrate for the perimeter of the house is most ideal. Talstar is a great general purpose product and comes in both granular or concentrate. Follow the application label.
Per the manufacturer, the Permethrin Granules have a clay carrier.

Permethrin Granules are not specifically labeled to treat chiggers. Onslaught insecticide is labeled for chiggers and can be used both indoors and outdoors as a broadcast spray. Treatments for chiggers should begin in May and could need to continue through the summer as new chiggers move into the area. Treating the entire lawn is of little benefit because chiggers avoid direct sunlight and normally will not infest areas that are mowed or otherwise well maintained. Focus treatment on the unkempt areas of the lawn and lawn edge. You can also use Onslaught to do a barrier treatment around the outside of your home and in your crawl space to stop pests from moving indoors.

You may consider using Onslaught Insecticide instead, which is labeled for mites in general and for use in and around poultry housing.
Whether you use granule or concentrate, you will have to remove all animals from application area and they cannot come back until the area is completely dry.

Apply to bushes, trees, shrubs, and lawn areas as a direct spray into cracks in concrete where activity is seen. This is not applied as trench treatment.
