They have to poop somewhere. I don’t want that somewhere to be in my house. It becomes a breeding area for mold and bacteria. I set glue traps near the entrances to my house and lanai.

Glue traps are cruel and inhumane. Just imagine if that were you and the process of dying. Just use the peppermint oil or some other natural way of repelling them.

I make a mixture of 30 second cleaner with a little bleach. I clean the area and they stay away for a while!

Get a cat... or two. They will catch any gecko that moves for you and will keep your lanai clear It also provides great entertainment, and will keep the cats happy!

Get a cat...only issue then is you find dead anoles in the house....but like someone said just name them posthumously.......
If you find dead ones under the bed or furniture use a leaf blower to get them out |

I live in Florida and we have a screened in porch. We also have lots of anoles outside but they don't actually get inside the screened porch that often and I don't think we've ever had one actually come inside the house when we've had the interior door open. I agree with the person who said get a net to scoop them up and set them back outside, maybe consider put a screened door on your interior door. That way when you open the door to enjoy the fresh air, there will be a barrier between the lanai and the inside of your house.

Actually, one of my cats likes to bring them inside... alive and running around, while I then try to capture them. The net is a fabulous idea!

Doesn't matter much for this topic but they are not geckos that is the logo for an insurance company they are likely Oreles-however it is spelled. Confessions, when we first moved in, I saw one on the lanai and put water out for it as i didn't want it to die. Truth, reality they come and go at will. Somehow they hide under our door sill. Since you will not win. Just be happy that they feed on insects. You will not be able to toilet train them either. Should you teach one to speak, I'm sure that insurance company will buy it form you. |

What if the cats sTart trying to climb the screening to reach the anoles? That can cause quite a bit of damage.
