Those darn lizards!

HappyBee:
I've been living with this for years now and finally about to flip my lid! How do we deal with those lizards / geckos that seem to get in anywhere and poop everywhere (including on us)?!

Has anyone found any solutions that work?

We don't use air con because we don't need it where we are. So aside from that, what can we do to get rid of them?

We used to have a cat who loved eating them but he has since decided he doesn't want to live with us. The lizards, however, remain no matter what I do.

Are there any surfaces they can't grip on to? Perhaps I could use that for a ceiling  :-\

I've got a few of these around.  They work okay.  Small crickets are the best bait.

The nieces feed the botiki we harvest to our poultry.


Hope this helps.

I forgot to mention.  We learned to put our toothbrushes in zip-locks. 

Nothing like added flavor first thing in the morning!

Besides the poop as you described, they are actually harmless and good of getting rid of mosquitoes.  I rather have them that getting all those nasty sickness that mosquitoes carries like dengue.
