Wet a paper towel & put it over him...then gently pick it up & throw it outside!

Why would you not just grab it and toss it out the door ??? Also, if you lift up the bottom of the lowest course of vinyl siding, you will see the gap the little buggers use to get in. Load it up with caulking, put the siding back in place, and you will never see another one.

I use a broom, guide them gently towards open door
helps if two people room with a broom to help guide them out the door

My cat disposed of one last week.

They are harmless, and eat bugs. That's good enough for me. Poop or no poop.

Very helpful suggestions above. Thank you. Update: I had a bit of mold at the bottom of the screen of lanai and I cleaned it with vinegar. The vinegar also seems to keep the Geckos away.

They rub the bugs they catch on the vinegar to make them taste better!:icon_wink:

If the broom doesn't work, try throwing a towel over it and gently pick it up to release him outside.

Want to borrow my cat..she loves to catch geckos...she brings them inside to us to show us her trophy. She thinks they are a moving toy..but she will not kill them.

Just use a high power leaf blower. They can fly but the landing is tough.

I have a roller butterfly net in my lanai and I catch them and put it back outdoors!!! Works great!!!

For those who love their anoles here is some timely information: How to Care for Green Anole Lizards: 13 Steps (with Pictures)

I don’t like anything moving inside the house, other than pets and people. But these anoles look so innocent and fascinating to watch - as long as they are outside.

Frankly I think they are gross and likely unsanitary with their droppings ..... I say send them all to planned geckohood and then have them sterilized. SORRY PETA.

Yes I do something similar. Put clear plastic cup over and light cardboard over opening. Take them outside so they can be with their pals.
