Johnnie99 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I would also like to point out that being the polite soul I am, asking them to be less noisy would help, I am sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Cats love to eat them Not mine, geckos won all initial stand-offs and they've been intimidated ever since. The dog occasionally nails one. Anyhow - OP: you will get used to this sound. Trust me on that. Unfamiliar noises eventually become familiar and you learn to sleep through them be they roosters crowing or geckos doing...whatever gecko-ing is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recycler Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 They don't die of pesticides, so that's no use. You could try to keep the room as clean as possible, they like dirt and make sure there are no insects that they can eat. Next thing is that you can cool you room down to the lowest temperature you can get, they hate cold. They also don't like water, so if you spray water on or around them they loose grip and are helpless catch them with a towel and put them outside. We have a lot in the attic, but sometimes one comes down and hides in for example our wardrobe, as yesterday. My wife is scared of them, but my son knows how to handle them.

dennisgb45 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 These were/are affectionately called f-ck you lizards, as their call resembles those two words in English. I love hearing them myself. I live out in the country and we hear them throughout the the night. Get used to it. They won't go away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duanebigsby Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I leave the geckos alone along with a couple spiders to eat mosquitos. If you really hate the tokays (Thais always say "not come down, don't worry") spray the area with a water/vinegar mix every once in a while. In my moo baan of townhouses they go from place to place.

peterb17 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Make soup, I was told that if you are trying for a kid and you wanted a boy you should eat them- I imagine just an old wive's tale. But you never know! Otherwise if you do not want a family and a boy, just enjoy the fact that you are in the tropics and are surrounded by wild life.

kjun12 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Not sure what type of Gecko you have but Tokays are pretty loud. They are good at eliminating roaches. If you can catch and ship some to me I would be most appreciative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
