Thanks Hermit for the graphic...yup...Gekko poop it is, then....
....fighting the same battle.....
But I've observed over the years that the gekkos poop in the same spot. So no furniture was ever placed in that spot. Thus I was never bothered till now after extensions put in and someone decided to put my work table in another spot.
The best solution in my case will be to put the work table back where it was before and the gekko poop can then land on the floor!!
That's kind of funny because I noticed the same thing. They poop in the same general spot but this was my "planned" sofa spot and where it really makes sense in my house...I'm having all vents screened and I moved my sofa to "the spot"...and....this morning - no poop! Wahoo....Cross my fingers that maybe he has moved on....
Ok maybe time to close the thread. One can only talk about gekko poop so much without starting to sound ridiculous. Thanks everyone...
The other solution might be to make the beam from where it comes inaccessible or less pleasant to dwell.
Ok...I said I was done talking about this, but I screened all the vents and then thought I'd "spray" general bug spray in the bedrooms and though big, I gave a shot to the main room....After about 15 minutes, three of the big guys came wandering down. They obviously didn't like the spray wafting up to their beams. It was the first time I saw them in 2 weeks since I've been here. One was looking for a way out...my clever screens stopped him....Doh! Oh well.....no poop on the furniture, so I'm officially done thinking about it.... Thanks everyone!
One last suggestion. Get creative with your interior design.
I was getting poop all over my computer and myself on more than one occasion...splat...scared the bejusus out of me! I didn't want to move my computer and office set-up so I suspended some cheap but pleasant fabric below the offending beam. It collected it and I would get the guys to take it down every so often for cleaning.
Gecko,s ..., better to love em and leave them alone .
- oh yeah , dont leave bat poo on car paintwork as itll eat into it and leave a permanent stain.
some can be very vicious...they can bite and won't let go.
don't read between the lines..i think the words are clear enough...:)
Our Philippina housekeeper here in Singapore is currently 'experimenting' with eggshells which she washes & places in known gecko zones around the floors, under furniture, in corners ... she seems to think it keeps them away... I think it's just a way to avoid giving the floor a proper wash
I'll indulge her for a week or so & monitor the lizard situation (sic)
