I've a problem with genkos excreting everywhere outside the house and inside. they come in when doors open and then can't get out.
Is there some way to catch them to move them away or is there some poison that they'd eat.
tried them sticky plates that catch mice and rats but the genkos won't walk over them.
Is there a way to catch genkos to move them away from house?
Generally speaking the Geckos are welcome in the house as they eat insects and espceially mosquitoes.
We never control them, but our cats do. Do you have a cat? They quite enjoy fresh Gecko at anytime of day!
We actaully used the sticky mouse sheet, as we had a mouse probem. Never caugth the mouse, but did catch Geckos.

I was always led to believe that they were welcome in houses, certainly they are welcome in ours.
I must admit to never having heard of them being a problem before? Mabey you have way too many hence the excessive waste material?
The cat idea sounds good, but then you will have to deal with the cat poo...

Pretty sure these are called Silver Arowana, Google Image it to make sure.
We had an Oscar that used to eat the geckos, I quite like having them around though, the kids do more damage to our furniture than geckos!

There are many ways to get rid of Geckos IMHO:
1) Keep the most infected room closed up and use the aircon. They'll starve to death as no insects getting in. You'll know when they're about to go to the great beyond as they put scarves and wooly hats on due to the cold.
2) Spray them and under things with normal insect spray, it kills geckos also after a few doses. They then turn to dried mummies and stay put until you find them.
3) Turn off all the inside lights, turn on all the outside lights and open the door, they'll run out like there was a free buffet on offer.
4) Geckos lay eggs. Look in hidden areas and small niches near cabinets etc. Get rid of them pronto or you'll have a whole new generation hatching out.
5) They are cannibals. Find one real big one, bring him in the house to eat all the smaller one's. Then shoot the big one.
6) They like to hide in the hinge area of doors and windows. A few athletic style openings and closings in the morning and evening is sure to make some into the well pressed variety.
To remember, mankind has been trying to get rid of cockroaches and geckos for millennium. They're still here!...
