Getting Rid Of Lizards

[Coffee Dude]

You have lizards because you have lizard food. Get rid of your insect problem and the lizards will move on.

I personally prefer the lizards to the insects.

Coffee!!!

Otter? I prefer Beaver! 

Nah, pussies are better!

Yes much better Yeah get rid of the bugs and then the lizards will go but they are doing that already no problem just let them be.

A "tookair" (large lizard which makes a loud noise overy so often at night) has taken up residence in the wooden panelling just behind my bed and is making a good night's sleep difficult. Banging on the panelling doesn't help. I have 3 cats but they can't get in the wall space.

Any ideas about displacing it humanely (eg spray? Electric signal emitter?), or as a last resort, some kind of poison?

It is very eay and simple to get rid of most the crawling insects and small lizards in your home in a totally non-toxic manner. Buy what they call 'glue traps' which they sell to catch mice and put them along your baseboard. I have used them with phenominal success at my home in Hawaii but have not shopped to see if you can get these simple and inexpensive traps in Thailand but I would guess that they would be available. These traps do not discriminate between the good and the bad so they will catch geckos along with the roaches, millipedes, centipedes, etc. I personally hate to kill geckos but also hate to clean up gecko sh*t so I guess in my case , I justify the good dying with bad. Hope this info will help you.

There can be no half measures with these reptile terrorists. I prefer to blanket-bomb them and use defoliant to denude their natural food sources, before committing ground forces on a search & destroy sweep. Occasionally collateral damage occurs, like when I accidentally killed the maid and her family with a frag grenade, during a nighttime op. Sh#t happens.

This guy will remove your lizards ... there could be some collateral damage.

He needs a bigger gun, imo. Lizards laugh at pea-shooters like that.

My nice little apartment occasionally gets visits from those lovely little lizards that you see all over the place.

I want them out. There's a small one in my wardrobe right now. He hides in the cracks between the panels when I try and chase him out.

count your blessings mate! what if he'd hide in another "crack"? i'm sure you wouldn't like that

Word of advice on tokay geckos - they are normally harmless, but when cornered can be quite fierce fighters, and they have sharp teeth.

Glue trap might work, but once the poor tokay is glued to the wall, what do you do? 9mm? And how do you get it off the wall once dead?

(sorry !)

I am sure that someone here will come up with a solution.

Someone with an interesting mind such as this !

My advice is to live, and let live

PM me with your address - I'll have a few dozen rats sent over. I'm sure you'll leave them be, right?

Find him a girl friend. They don't utter a peep when they're at it.
