5 Ways to Eliminate Wall Geckos In Your Home/ Office. No 2 Will Shock You. by soccerani(m): 12:22pm On Nov 29, 2017 |
There is a popular believe that gecko lizards aren't harmful and shouldn't be killed. In fact it is forbidden in some culture to kill them. But sadly, recent stories we have been reading via the internet has made this hitherto house friend an enemy. Here are few tips that can help you eliminate or repel wall geckos in your apartment: 1. Ensure you fix net in all your windows and doors (for door that is not properly sealed). This is because this creature has the potential to enter your home/office between few inches. The popular aluminium sliding windows isn't reliable as they stroll to your house with ease from the bottom even after closed. 2. If there is infestation, chase them with garlic. Cut garlic and expose them where you normally see the droplet of the faeces. This will scare them away. Gecko lizards does not like garlic smell, no wonder they are not found in kitchens where there are garlics. 3. Egg shell is another good tool in warding them off. Break the eggs and leave the shells were their activities are common. This work like magic. Gecko lizards have phobia for egg shell. They always appear as their enemy. 4. Eliminate all insect in your house via routine fumigation or use of insect killer. Gecko lizards feed on insects and if insect are not available in your home/office, they won't like to live there. So regular fumigation or use of insecticides can help eliminate insect in your house. 5. De-clutter your home/office. When there are enough luggage and baggage in your house/office, it gives them a perfect place to dwell. This should should be discouraged. Try to make your house/office as scanty as possible. The same is true with your kitchen: avoid pilling of utensils and cartons in your kitchen so that they won't have a dwelling place. 10 Likes |

Hi amya, you may want to ask dominìqu to delete that thread of yours. It isn't always a good thing to lay our life bare on the internet, especially as your identity isn't hidden anymore. Or you can just deactivate this moniker if you don't mind. |

creolehunt: Sweetheart I have nothing to be ashamed of. I only loved, and gone through series of emotions just like everyone else, I no kill person lol . Even my hubby knows these stories. Experiences make us in the long run and I'm grateful for each and everyone of those experiences that have shaped me into this woman I've become. Heartbreak, depression and whatnot is not a crime, only mentally impaired folks will find that troll-worthy. 1 Like |
