For God's sake!   Send the  little   basta*d a bill.      I'll bet it was merely  an accident on his part. 

Unfortunately he didn't make it, otherwise I am sure he would have.....

Cats do like eating the small ones. However, frying pans and fires comes to mind.

40 in a pot will make a nice curry (if you don't kill them with poison), though you do want to cut their fingers and toes off first for they'll stick to your tongue going down.

Your funeral expenses could not have been too  excessive.

 

Oh wait,   you did it the Thai way.

Are you willing to eat beef or pork? Or chicken? Why would killing a gecko be any crueler than being responsible for the death of a cow, or a pig? They seem to be nothing but a nuisance, between the noise they make, and the mess they make. I have no issues about killing as many as I can find! 

Mike, the reason why people kill pigs, cows and other similar animals is that we usually eat these creatures.

   But killing a gecko just because it makes some noises, or it's shitting on somebody's car, is not reason enough for me to say that's okay.

   Then you could include dogs, they shit everywhere, bark annoyingly and most of us don't eat dogs, right?

This thread is offensive.

Quite agree.

 

fellow military techo, years back... he was sleeping at our Remote Receivers site out the back of the airfield,

Silly man slept with his mouth open

 

geckos were mating upside down on the ceiling...

Guess what!!!

 

 

Another time, we got a report from Air Traffic Control that our TACAN Navigational Aid has gone off line.

Went out to the site, and found the Modulator Unit has been frizzed.

Inside the cabinet, there's this massive coil, a rheostat setup in the Modulator unit.

Quite a few turns of the coils were gone! and in their place the blacken impression of what used to be a gecko! 

(if you can imagine a similar image to one of the historical photos of a vaporised victim of Hiroshima)

I have no issues whatsoever, with killing as many geckos and insects as I can possible kill. Call me a genocidal maniac, when it comes to pests. Some people hunt rhino, or elephants, or big game, like tiny donnie jr. I hunt insects! Fun baby fun.

Murderer!!    

 

I kill flies , mosquitoes and cockroaches with gusto.    I'm an especially accomplished fly killer and that  satisfies my killing instinct.   But I "get it"

I don't notice any in the house since I let the cats in

Amazing, do they (the cats) actually climb walls?

Having eradicated every multi legged thing from inside my house I get very few geckos the last one I hunted down with a power torch that confused it long enough to catch it with tail intact and return the little crapper out the window hopefully not blinded??

No, but the geckos come down sometimes. Cats are very patient killers.

FOr insects and others you have ultra sound devices. Not really expensive.

You could try it. However if you have a dog/cat, he maybe wouldnt like it and gets crazy.

Maybe you'd prefer malaria or dengue fever?   Geckos do a great job cleaning up mosquitos and are considered good luck to have inside the house.

 

Leave them alone

and reduce spraying.

My girlfriend buys these scented bags and places them around the place. Seems to work.

A ballpeen hammer always worked for me ?

Another case of TIT. The person is as usual ignorant about Geckos.

I am sometimes shocked about the level of ignorance.

No wonder why Thais call Farungs the way they do. 

They consider them as Farungs pale skin money givers.

Anyway. Ask somebody who knows more about the Gecko s importance in Thai culture. Gin yoong mood laeow. it's part of a Thai important part, and not only for the latter.

Don't put your house in disarray because of it.

Honestly, if I was the Immigration boss, I would ask every Farung to study culture and language before handing out resident permits. Chaff separates from wheat.

You Farungs ought to learn about your host country more than just the female body parts.

Don't understand why you would want to kill such an inoffensive creature. Hitting them with insect spray seems a bit torturous to the poor creatures. I am not in favour of slowly despatching pigs or cows etc and ensuring that their last hours on this earth cause them extreme discomfort. The cruelty in your case lies in the killing method.

I am sure most of us on this forum are appreciative of your nearly fundamentalist level of judgment. Thanks for the support.

Have you tried moving the car?

A bit more extreme I agree but what about moving the house a few feet!

 

PS;  If you did it was stop all this cr*p being posted/deposited!

A bit difficult moving the car with all that crap.

 

Actually I am in the process of moving the house as you suggested.

 

Come to think of it, I am thinking of collecting all the droppings I can get and send it your way, free of course !

Edited August 6, 20187 yr by 4MyEgo

I put chillis and water in a spray gun and squirt the water where ever they walk...they usually avoid those areas

 

The other way is too place bigger egg shells around the areas they are, it scares them off as they think there is a bigger predator in the area

If you move the crap from the car (and your comments) then maybe it could move out the way of the gecko problem.

If your car is so underpowered and immoveable that the weight of a few drops of gecko welcome(s) are too heavy for the car to move I think you may just have a bigger problem and maybe you should look at buying a more powerful car.  

PS; this present "crap" car is not in "Toytown" with "Noddy" and "PC Plod" is it?

Moth balls if you can put them where they will be effective. As Crossy said, the big ones just leave bigger dumps. We had a big one that dumped on my car from the rafters on a regular basis, I thought at first we must have had a dwarf living in the rafters the dumps were so big. (you can pop the larger ones with one of those plastic BB guns, it will scare them - Don't shoot the smaller ones as it tends to kill them, either through shock and awe or damage)
