Simple answer -- the gecko dies and you find it somewhere in your house looking like a mummified thing. I try to get the gecko back outside but am rarely successful. Unlike dogs, cats have the good sense to not eat them.

Haven't seen fire ants indoors (and hope I never do). They'll pretty much bite anything.

Gracie, my girls live on the lanai. I'm not allowed to close it -- even at night. They'll nag me nonstop to open it up for them. I finally decided that a burglar was less of a risk than getting clawed to death for the closed door, so they win and front door is open so they can go outside when they please. Even indoor kitties LOVE lanais.
