The Ruling on Reciting over Insects in the House

I heard from you that some of the Salaf used to recite over the insects that bothered them in their houses, and they would go away. In fact, in our apartment, there was a lizard that bothered us for six months; it was always screeching. Then I sat down and recited the Qur'an, remembering your saying, so I recited the Qur'an and reflected on my situation. I was previously complaining, but now, for two weeks, I have not heard this lizard. Do I owe anything?
You owe nothing; but if you inform your brother Musa of the verses you recited so that he may benefit from them, or perhaps Allah will make it easy for someone to kill the lizard you mentioned. In any case, Allah has protected you from its harm, and praise be to Allah.
