Scare the lizards

Post by parbeau »

Hi there!
The small house lizards are cute and fun to watch, but they can cause problems (apart from them shitting everywhere)! I´ve had a computer monitor ruined because one of these bastards liked to live inside and one day decided to die there, causing shortcut in the electronics. Now another one like to hang around my printer and one day when I should change ink and opened the lid I was face to face with the friggin´ thing - sitting inside. Chased him out but very difficult to catch as you know! I like my printer and don´t want it to be ruined as well. I then remembered when we used to rent in Kao Takiab that our landlady had one small electronic gadget plugged in to the electric outlet, emitting some sort of high-pitched sound scaring rats(mice), big-size roaches - and hopefully house lizards away. I´ve tried to find that thing here in Phetchabun, where I live most of the time - but with no success - so my question to you is: Do you know what type of product I´m talking about (approx the size of a big cell phone) - and where can I buy it in Hua Hin?? Coming down a few days in mid-March and with your help I might find it then - and after that a lizard-free office!!
:cheers:

An alternative is to find a stuffed common myna bird and perch him on your desk. Not joking, nary a chinchoke will ever be seen again in the vicinity. Also perks up any room decor a bit. :thumb: Pete :cheers:

These little things are a fact of life here, there are simply billions of them around, they get everywhere.

I have also heard of them screwing up other household stuff like microwaves etc.

Got to be quick with the little buggers, one of those Thai style sweeping brooms is fairly useful.

You would have to have a conserted drive at elimination as they shag like rabbits and multiply at an astonishing rate. They'll be back though through under the doors, cracks in mosquito screens.

F...ing frogs in the garden were my pet hate, croaking all bloody night and trying to mate in the fishponds.
Many a night was spent in elaborate hunting method's and when I caught them, they took a trip to the seaside, via a short flying lesson.
I dumped the little bastards over the garden wall into the sea at high tide. :twisted:

Don't feel sorry for them, they can swim, but they can't bloody fly. :thumb:


Sorry, :offtopic:

I think he's talking about a live bird. Seems I have led this thread down the wrong path. I'm sure someone will come up with an answer today. :offtopic: Pete :cheers:

Are you sure the short circuit didn't cause the lizard to die in the first place... :|

I like them. In fact I went out with one for a few months. The BJ's were amaizing.. 8)

Not sure if they still have them, but I saw those electronic devices in Tesco about six months back. I think they were on display in the section where they sell tools and etc. They had a few different types to choose from as well.
