Geckoes (chek-a-chek) or stripeys?
Either way, the other posts are right about the pest control aspect of their sharing your habitation.

However, geckoes have this irritating habit of choosing a specific rafter (in houses with open/exposed rafters) to stool from, and if this spot happens to be over your dinner table, well... Couple this with the casual way they lift a rear leg (just like a male dog about to urinate), curl the tail over, squeeze off a shot, and - this is what really irritates you after your dinner gets bombed - look over their shoulder to view their accuracy with what I can only describe as a sneer, while shaking the raised leg to ensure cleanliness.

In this case, get a broom and a cat.

The only way to get rid of them is to get rid of their food. and since we living in trinidad...GOOD LUCK

This method worked for me back home on the estate... solved the problem, saved on cat food, and the other geckoes took to more discreet areas to perform their target practice.

sharpen a pencil real sharp and shoot it at them with a rubber band, very entertaining, especially when yuh actually shoot one!!

Exactly, they are the best pets you can find. They do not do you anyting yet at the same time gets rid of those pests that you always eager to get rid off.

Just like dragon flies are your best friend they are the number one prey of mosquitoes.

research has shown the sound of a dragon fly scares away mosquitoes.

Lots of talk little solutions ... way back in the day we had a lill problem with these miscreants.

How good r u at throwing a lawn tennis ball ... get a lawn tennis ball and hit them with it ... now dont be stupid and pelt the ball like you trying to run out or bowl out a man playing wind ball cricket. A hard throw can break stuff up in the house ... of course if you only stun them you can finish them off in whatever grizzly manner you decide also.

I suggest you practice alot first cause every lizard missed allows them to get smarter and run when they see you coming ... i used to stalk them at the outside light bulbs where they would go to feed on moths.

^^^ Agreed

Leave the Lizard's alone they do more good than harm , or do you prefer being run over by Roaches and other Bugs ?

I have one in my room...seems to have been there for the last year!

only see him from time to time..and he doesn't seem to be leaving the room.

so he must be getting tons of food in there..my guess..mosquitoes

so I guess I welcome it as well.

why not just do gypsum or pvc ceiling?

they will have to stay in the rafters since all joints are sealed,

Logic42 · Postby **Logic42** » November 16th, 2009, 1:52 pm

if there's lots of lizards, it means there's a lot of food for them.. roaches, flies, mosquitoes, etc. clean yuh damn place!

noobie · Postby **noobie** » November 16th, 2009, 1:57 pm

I have two cats. There are very few lizards.

Now..we have a massive over population of spiders. Spiders EVERYWHERE!
As soon as you clean up a web...they are spinning another.

this weekend I vacuumed one corner...leant the vacuum cleaner against the wall and when I returned there was a web and a spider between the wall and the vacuum cleaner.

I strongly believe this is all because we don't have enough lizards, but we have spiders. The cats don't kill/care about spiders.

So I have a problem. can't use too much insecticide because of the cats. Really don't want to have to cobweb every week either.
