I have never had a gecko in the house.

I agree, the spray does slow them down, and they don't seem to like the "peppermint" odor. I catched 3 days ago quite a big one - thought the fish in the pond would maybe like to have a different menue option. To my big surprise, the gecko was able to swim to the shore. Was a stunning moment for me. My big laugh was, that after he arrived the waters edge, a big frog or toad made a jump towards him and ... 🙂 Made my day...

The product grows natural ,My young Thai wife is excellent at capturing them and throwing them in the jungle! She's also very good at finding Muzzies in a room, killing them with her hands. Get married to a village girl ,they're a asset to have around if your a city boy falang.

The Jing-Jok Gecko in Thailand: A Helpful Housemate In the warm, humid climate of Thailand, where nature and humanity coexist in an intricate dance, the Jing-Jok gecko emerges as an unassuming yet essential housemate. These small, nimble creatures, with their distinctive calls and remarkable agility, have woven themselves into the fabric of Thai domestic life. As twilight descends, their presence becomes more pronounced, scaling walls and navigating the intricacies of household items, all the while performing a crucial ecological role.

We have a few dogs that follow me round so they can get into our outhouses and look for geckos, mice or rats. If they catch one they'll eat it. I suppose we could teach the dogs to leave a cat alone. The cats can also do that - one nose-swipe at a time.

Our cats very lazy when it came to Gecko's. They don't run like mice and aren't as much fun. I've watched my cat just lay down having the feline staring contest with a gecko just too damn lazy to even get up

Normally a very good dog and she was already known with cats!. Brother of wife had many cats and she was living there then with the cats. BUT now the cat coming in was exciting. Dog was stressed, so in beginning kept them separated. In cage we had the cat and let dog snif, but sometimes to enthusiastic. One day wife decide to not keep separated and it worked. but was after several days. In that time she told me dog once killed (when way younger) a cat at her sisters. SO made all more exciting. And weird as she already had more experience with cats later on and nothing happened. Now they are totally not a problem together. The cat is now hunting anything she can put her claws on. The dog somehow cant stand the beard lizards, we have some of them. If they arent quick enough, it is end of story. Guess dog has now age issues and maybe in menopause, 555 I dont mind of those animals, gecko's are in house , so what. Im more worried about the big centipedes, they were in here last year. Up to 3 times and they are strong. Also this year we had 3 types of green snakes, they seem to be harmless, looked them up. But we can have more dangerous ones like a malaysian pitviper. I didnt see the snake, but my bushmower hit it and the snake was airborne. Also a tiny cobra in moms house. I really dont like to meet those. But ok it is Thailand.

She kills Muslims with her bare hands? I know you are not a fan of them but surely that's going a bit far?

We also leave the jing jocks & Tokays alone. They really do "regulate" the bug population. At one stage we had 2 big Tokays living in the house; one under the fridge and one behind the (unmovable) TV stand. Both have now disappeared. Here is the one from the kitchen. The tails seem to come off easily.

Or put down those sticky mouse traps where they run along. I chased one with cockroach spray out my back sliding glass door and watched him do a backflip off my 10th floor balcony.
