    Just had one fried inside my computer, a good backup model now unservicable. They are now on my feral animals list and all will go.

    Re: Anyone Know - How to get rid of Geckos

    Mix 50/50 sollution of dettol and water. I think it kills toads by bing absorbed through their pourous skin. Same would apply to geckoes I assume. It works though - knocks em down real fast.

    Keep the geckos. They are cute and eat vermin.

    I tend to find them cute and interesting little fellows.

    Agreed, they do poop everywhere, but they do wonders at getting rid of all the cockroaches and the moths.

    I like watching them go after moths sitting on the glass window at the back of the house.

    There is a product called "Creepy Crawly", comes in a spray bottle and is an instant kill when sprayed on them.

    From theQueensland Museum site

    "Asian House Geckos



    Queenslanders are fast becoming acquainted with a new addition to their households: the Asian House Gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus). These exotic invaders resemble many native geckos, but they are much more 'talkative'. Their 'chuck, chuck, chuck' call is distinctive. Asian House Geckos also have characteristic, slightly enlarged spines scattered over the back and arranged in bands around the original tail, while native house geckos are smooth.

    Asian House Geckos first appeared in Brisbane in the early 1980s. Those early colonists probably arrived in container shipping. By the early to mid-1990s, the Queensland Museum was receiving countless reports from the Central Business District of Brisbane, the city's outer suburbs and from towns along the east coast of Queensland.

    Asian House Geckos are true urbanites. Even in their native South-east Asia, they live almost entirely on buildings. They have been hugely successful as stowaways among cargo, thanks partly to their round, hard-shelled eggs that resist moisture loss. Asian House Geckos are 'on the march' worldwide, mainly in tropical regions, and now have the widest range of any lizard in the world.

    Asian House Geckos have displaced some native geckos in disturbed areas. While largely dependent on human environments, they have spread into bushland reserves in the Northern Territory where they could pose a threat to other native species.

    Another hidden problem may lie with hitch-hikers they carry. Two species of red gecko mites, Geckobia bataviensis and Geckobia keegani live on the toes of Asian House Geckos. Microorganisms carried by these sorts of mites have the potential to cause debilitating diseases in native Australian lizards.

    The impact of Asian House Geckos competitors and as potential carriers of pathogens is clearly something that requires monitoring. They may be cute but we cannot assume they are harmless."
