Buy some TOMCAT GLUE TRAPS & these little buggers will run right into them. Believe me if they stick one of there tiny winnie little toes in it, they're stuck!

First of all, they aren't geckos, they are anoles. Second of all, shame on all of you who recommended glue traps, that's cruel. Good grief.

They aren't that hard to catch and put back outside, or just ignore them, they got in..... they'll get out. You live in Florida, they are part of the Florida experience.

It was always a quick wake up when he was in the shower!

Did you ever have to supplement Bob's diet or did he just fend for himself? How about water?

I was going to tell the original poster that having a lizard in your house is not necessarily a bad thing. They love to eat bugs and they're "all natural".

Agree about the glue traps. If they stay inside long without insects or flies they will bcome dehydrated and die. Try to put them outside.

Geckoes won't hurt you. No need to recommend cruel glue traps.

Leave a little trail of dead bugs that leads right out the partially opened back door.

That's an excellent idea!


However, it will be an economic negative for the handymen I employ after I try to scare them out the door... by shooting my Glock right behind their tails.

I just grab the little sucker and throw him/her out. No harm is done to either of us.
