Theequation Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I kill them with a bamboo stick, and then throw the bodies outside for all their brethren to see...as a warning. I also spray around windows, doors, etc. a water and peppermint/eucalyptus oil mixture, which supposedly helps keep away spiders as well. Even if it doesn't work, it smells pretty good.

kaveh Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 i enjoy their sound by myself but if you don't, you might use ultrasonic sound makers to make them run away, not them but almost every creature that have ability to hear those ranges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Nixon Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Personally I like the sound. It is almost comforting. A large 10 inch gecko got in the house and ran amuck. That was interesting. My Thai wife said some Thais like them in their house. kinds keep them as pets. Eat the insects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisrazz Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) Better to have the wildlife around that you can hear, 'Gupgay', they are known as around my area are far more welcome than snakes and scorpions. They are there because of ample food source, find what they eat and eradicate that, they'll move on to greener pastures.

SanukJoeII Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 OP: Golden Tree snakes eat the Tokay geckos, so get a couple of snakes in your studio.... On a serious note: ridiculous to not adapt to the wildlife of your guest country. Reptiles have been here for millions of years, don't you think they are entitled to do their calling? (only males call BTW). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koo Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 True, they are noisy. But I always relax when hearing the Tokay cry, because I know it will not attack me (unless intimidated), and it keeps everything smaller than itself abay. No mosquitos, cockroaches, spiders, ants or other bugs around. A very handy janitor in a sense :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axact Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Live with it, they were around before you were (historically), get ear plugs or move to a country that doesnt have Tookays...take your pick. There are many worse things that could be keeping you awake so be thankful. I have one living part time in my roof and several at work, still not as noisey as the damn cockrel next door who thinks its dawn at 2am, 3am, 4am, 12pm ect ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickGC Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Have had a tokay hanging out in our kitchen, bathroom and ceiling for many years now. Consider him/her same as a pet. The tokey's crap consists mostly of recycled bugs. We get along just fine even though he keeps say <deleted> you, but I'm sure he is saying that to his girlfriend and not me. She is a regular visitor also. Swears at him as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerryd Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Every so often one gets into my house and suddenly out of the clear blue starts yakking about something. I'm sitting there enjoying the peace and quiet and he starts hollering, almost scares the crap out of me. Gave up trying to figure out how they keep getting into the house, and have almost got over feeling sad for the ones that do get in as I know I'm eventually going to find their shriveled, dried up little corpses behind some piece of furniture one day after they've starved to death. And despite seeing the little buggars around all the time, I still end up having to deal with roaches, mosquitoes, termites and ants. I wonder why the geckos seem to starve to death all the time when I'm constantly having to deal with those other pests. Bluddy lizards should be the size of large cats for all the bugs they could (should) be eating around my place !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc46 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Get the vacuum cleaner suck them up & dispose of them(or eat them, some Thais do)works for me ) Repeat every so often when you get to many moving in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackvale Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 The roaches in this country are way bigger so maybe they're getting the little insects but they're not ridding my room of roaches (who are harmless). I find their poop all over my window sill every morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4u2mad Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I feel you should just get used to them as lets face they were here before you were...they are just part and parcel of Thailand.. Elephants were here before us also. We don't let them roam at will do we? Same for tigers etc. True, but I've never seen them trumpeting whilst walking up walls in a studio either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) Geckos or Tokays? Tokays are the big noisy ones. Tokay is cheap wine for down-and-out drunks. Jingjoo (jing-jôo) is the name for the small ones, and Dukgay's (dtúk gɛɛ) is the name for the big ones. Edited April 26, 2014 by connda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
