Popular Post unblocktheplanet Posted December 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2021 In 30 years, we've always had house geckos. In the last few months, though, they've gotten diarrhea. Streaks down our pictures & cupboards, spots on the floor. What could have changed to alter their digestion? Anybody else observed this??? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetphet Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Get it occasionally. They probably get an upset stomach sometimes like we all do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought that they ate insects exclusively. But I have occasionally found them in our kitchen waste bin, so I assume they must be there to eat discarded food. So, maybe they tucked into the left over somtam. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuvoc Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Yes, we have them here too. A real nuisance but seemingly impossible to get rid of. Simply open the door to the house to let some fresh air in, and you let them in as well. And they are very hard to catch, too quick. I don't want to hurt them so is a matter of living with them, unless there is a way to discourage them from coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigupandchill Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) Just a suggestion but lights showing outside attracts bugs which then attract Geckos. Get rid of the lights and maybe you can cut down on the Geckos? Edited December 28, 2021 by bigupandchill 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've seen them once or twice scurrying into the house in daytime anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Tempest Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Get a cat!....They can catch them and do. Since we got our cat I hardly ever see geckos except for the ones that live in the Aircon which she can't reach! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmerslife Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Are we talking about Jing Joks or Tokays here? We very occasionally get Tokays in the house and believe me their $h1t is something you really want to avoid. At more than a foot in length (the Tokay that is, not the t*rd ???? ) they make a considerable mess and it stinks to high heaven. Furthermore, when you hear the gecko, gecko call there's a good chance a snake will respond to it, so now you find yourself with both a Tokay and a hungry snake to deal with. - - - - - and all I had to deal with in the summer months in the UK were crane flies and gnats and no $h1t. ????

spidermike007 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) Most insect spray works wonders for getting rid of geckos. They hate the stuff. They can be noisy and filthy. Even spraying around the outside of the house seems to keep many of them away. They are not welcome in my home!

sirineou Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) We occasionally have that problem after their holyday parties. That and getting really rowdy becoming belligerent and starting fights. We solved the diarrhea. problem , but we still have problems with their fighting.

fredscats Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 The rat mats work,sticky place mats,but more than likely will kill them. When caught used baby oil to free them from the mess,then throw them out,that is the ones not killed,leaving tail behind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of the lights and maybe you can cut down on the Geckos? Very true. They crowd the ceiling around the lights of my pool house. On a side note, they're suckers for a laser pointer and great fun to see them chase the red spot around the ceiling. Sometimes you can get several to collide in pursuit of the spot. Yeah, I know, but I'm easily entertained. Everybody needs a hobby after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
