Ghekos

Live and let live....... they eat the mosquitoes and cause no one any harm.............bar the gekko poo unfortunately

Hello,

They do make a lot of noises though.

Noises and some poo is a small price to pay for having an almost mozzie and flying bug free house.

Gecko's are just doing their job which is what nature intended them to do

If somebody can give me a tip on getting rid of those giant spiders invading my house, I would appreciate it.

Yes we have a few too

Used to scare the pants off us - the sheer size!

But local people have told us they do not harm, eat bugs and they run away very quickly! when approached - so now we leave them and we have a resident one in our downstairs loo called Fred

However if there is ever one in our bedroom, then we do catch it and put it outside

We don't seem to,get any spiders in our house maybe because we have lot's of gecko's.  Gecko's are our friends, they do eat the mozzies and moths too, I also once saw a gecko chase and kill a scorpion, that is when I knew they are our friends.  The poop is annoying but I leave them be in our house.

Like Jude we hardly ever get any spiders - never ever seen any biggies just the odd tiny ones.
We do have geckos though - they do a good job IMO!

re the gecko solution stuff - we don't want to kill them - just make them go somewhere else! Post was intended for people like us who have bought/renovated old props and like open windows and doors - daytime - and not air con - gets a bit old cleaning the poop off skirting boards etc  - and when you have been here long enough one gets used to the routine of checking the junction boxes one by one to find the cause of clipsal failure - a fried body or nest of eggs - we put them in the garden when we catch them. xx

"we put them in the garden when we catch them."


Lol

And I bet they come right back in as soon as your back is turned

HeY rosie - we brought our cat Tipsy for the same reason - part of the family - 5 years here now and still cannot speak french! can swear in Oz tho! Second floor  - long climb for the geckos to get back - !
