nitayagirl Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Are there any good way to stop this pest or we just have to live with like the geckos?

tonray Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 You can try spray bottle with isopropyl alcohol. Every couple of days spray the upper walls/ceilings where you see the worms. They don't like the smell. Also works great to keep mold away outside. But these guys are really hard to get rid of. I used to have them when I lived in Huay Khwang but now in Thonburi I have not seen one in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Take away their food source. They feed upon shed spider webs, hair and dead insects. Think the correct name is Phereoeca uterella Old topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Primeros Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Very easy, just pick it up and sqash it, whenever you see one. That way you can keep them at bay.... Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannot Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 You dont have to live with either if your house is sealed up tight with properly fitting doors and windows, I never get any, keep outside lights OFF the walls of the house is also a good idea, mine are about 5 metres away from the house .

Go to a Thai store they are everywhere they even come around in the side carts to your neighborhood selling them. Long stick broom! Get off you butt and just brush them off!

howard ashoul Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Yeah, worms and other insect in the thai home's sucks (getting bitten by small spiders most). And especially butterflies, because they are eating my lemon tree on the balcony. But geckos are cool. Don't hate them. I learned their call. No matter which room I am, if i call them, I will always get at least 3 replies. Never alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
