I was recently able to get two gecko's out of the lanai by using a small pillow. If they are hanging on the screen, move the pillow near them and they will attach themselves to the pillow. Then shake the pillow outside and they are on their way. Good Luck!

Black except in the sun and then she has a reddish tint. Is yours black?

She is dark brown but genetically black. Isn't it amazing they like basking in the sun?

I bought a goldfish net for catching and releasing anoles, but it took over a year for me to successfully catch my first one. They are way too fast!

Just the other day I opened the front door and sure enough a little baby anole found his way in. We had him cornered at one point and then he disappeared. So, there is now a baby anole in here somewhere. I guess I'll find him when I find him. I now have put those sticky pads that Massey gave me out by my front door to catch them before they run in my house. They work.....

They may work, but why kill a gecko? They won't hurt you.
There are lots of humane options, including the one above by OCsun.

Usually our cat are chasing it out of the house and let them alive after the first experience catching and eating it with the result that she threw up several times.

I agree with the butterfly net,long handle available at goodwill has worked for me several times.

You can purchase plugins that emit a high pitched sound that can't be heard by your pets. The are old 4 to a pack( we got ours in Walmart) We plugged one in on our patio and in the garage. Prior to using them, we were getting geckos in the house about 4-5 times a week. My 2 cats loved it but they are difficult to catch. The plugins worked. We've only had one since June. The geckos are good to have around the outside. They eat the bugs; but we would rather they don't reside with us.

Throw a waste basket (with an even...not fluted...top) on top of it. Have on hand a magazine or newspaper and when you hear the anole leaping around inside the waste basket, quickly pick it up and slap the magazine on top and head for the outdoors for release. Very easy procedure, I've done it often.

Keep the doors shut! I've never had them in the house, because I'm very careful about leaving doors open. But if you want to get rid of them buy some Tomcat Glue Traps & set them in the room where they are at along the wall. I caught 5 in one trap in my lanai. Believe me if they stick one hair size toe in it, they're stuck! Doesn't hurt to try it & the traps are cheap.
