thaibeachlovers Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I did a search on this, but no results, to my surprise. We have a very noisy one lives in our storeroom. I don't want to kill it, but gentle pursuasion doesn't work. Anyone had success in getting one to move out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkjames Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Is the big bas tards with heads the size of viper or a little guy? Big guy.... Get a broom, open the door, show him the way and encourage him to move out...gently as you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h90 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 what is a ekok? Same as Tokay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 We use a rat-trap to capture them, then release some hundreds of yards away, if that idea helps ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thongkorn Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Just move the tokare, but be careful they bite and don't let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayjayjayjay Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Use a bath mat, ones that's quite think. Catch him using the bath mat with fingers well back from corners. Allow him to bite onto the loose part of the mat. Make sure to get a decent hold of him. This way you can catch any ekok or Tokae as most call them. Take him over to the local temple or down the street and release next to some guys house you don't like!

thaibeachlovers Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 what is a ekok? Same as Tokay? Probably. My wife calls them ekok. They make a sound like "f...you" very loudly. It's a big one, not the little ones that I like around to eat mossies. It won't come down off the wall to get caught. I'll look for a non lethal rat trap, thanks. What bait do they like?

ATF Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 They are easy to catch with a fishing net, or leave the door open with a bright light outside and it will come out to eat at night. Why do you want to get rid of it? They are perfectly harmless. They won't jump on you or attack you. If you pick it up use a pair of thick leather gloves they have a strong bite. They only make a noise to attract a mate, after they are quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP, ask any of your local Thais to help you get rid of him or her. They know the way......as you can land with a nasty bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it's a choice of poop or spiders in your store room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What bait do they like? yes most probably.....looks like the Rottweiler version of the small one.... keep in mind: it is one of the few animals that eat cockroaches......Whoever eats cockroaches and/or mossies is automatically my friend ((we have a cockroach invasion in one house and I would rather prefer the ekok, but Mrs. h90 doesn't like them) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissie Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Learned something. So far, I always thought "ekok" is a code-word for "mother in law" among Thai's. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
