I find that the easiest way to catch a gecko (really anoles) is to toss a dish towel over them. They stop moving and then you can pick them up inside the towel and reorient them to the outside area.

Whatever you do, do NOT pick them up by the tail as you will be left with a wiggling tail and no anole.
