How can I trap geckos?

Answer 1

sticky paper like cockroach's mats geckos stick to it too

Answer 2

About trapping them I don't know but there is a method that usually works.

Use your index finger and close it so that the tip of the index touches it's begginning near the palm of the hand (like when you open and close your finger alternatively to say to someone to come to you). Keep it closed and slowly approach the gecko with the closed index .. he'll bite you but it will not hurt much :) and it will not let loose your finger untill you open your finger again. :)

Quite painfull but when I was a kid it worked :)

Answer 3

Cover the gecko with a clear container/cup and then gently slip a piece of paper under it, make sure you don't pinch it's toes or tail.
if you want to catch it by hand don't touch it's tail- it might come
off!

Answer 5

To trap: use ordinary trap using small bug(s) as bate (such as mosquito). I wouldn't recommend using sticky trap because the sticky stuff is hard to remove.
To catch: press your index finger agains it's back of head/neck, then use yout thumb and middle finger to pinch it's back of the neck. Not too hard or you may kill it.

Answer 6

common lounge lizard is often trapped by gettin' tangled in big ol' panties thrown onto stage by out of control middle aged women from the Midwest. I do not know if the lounge lizard is found in the parts of the world where the house lizard is from. I do know that the house lizard is now found living wild in the US of A, at least the part I live in. Folks bought them at the pet shop and then they got away or were released. So I don't know if you live in original house lizard (SE Asia mostly) country or not. Of course you do know that having Geckos in your house is a good omen? Our first pet gecko, which we had way before the insurance agencies discovered them was named Tony, Tony Gecko, a made lizard, a real good fella in the local Repta Nostra. They are not dangerous at all, and do eat any bugs they find (If there are no bugs in your house the lizards will leave.) But they can be annoying and ya can't leave any uncovered food out and gotta check inside your coffee cups for ... um ... little calling cards before you fill them. And they can be noisy too. Barkin and chuckin at all hours of the night.
Unfortunately because Geckos have those sticky feet, most of the live trapping methods that work on other lizards, tip boards, bucket traps, don't work on them. I have had a little success with carefully constructed and baited funnel traps. The only other way is actually hunting them down and capturing them by hand or with the running noose on a stick that I used to use when I was a genuine Junior Herpetologist.
The other methods result in at least some damage to their feet and, worse, a long lingering death from starvation, unless you got the guts and humanity to kill them yourself and put them out of their misery. One of the products, available here http://www.cyberway.com.sg... is some kinda liquid that the lizard walks across and it attacks the lil hooks on their feet and they fall off the ceiling. The maker claims that the gecko learns to stay away from the areas with the liquid. I dunno if they tiny lil reptile brains is all that efficient. Seems like what would really happen is he falls down and since his feet hurt (maybe it some kind of acid?) he can't run so good and you catch him and take him outside. Course he gots no hooks and can't climb, maybe they grow back if he survives till the next skin shedding. Another product the same people sell is a glue trap, in fact they have a pic of a poor gecko all covered in glue. No need to buy a specific lizard glue trap, the same kind of trap is sold for use against mice and rats. They will work but now you got a lizard stuck to a board and it is gonna stay there struggling and tryin to get lose, but only getting itself more stuck till it starves, and reptiles can live an amazing length of time without food. If it is lucky it will manage to get glue smeared over its face and suffocate a little sooner than it starves. I never caught a lizard on one of those. I did catch a big ugly rat on one once. Now, I got no qualms about usin a snap trap and killin a rat right quick or even usin poison so it dies where I don't see it, but this was just pitiful. Nothin deserves to die like that. I wound up puttin on my welders gloves and carryin the whole thing away out into the field where I poured cooking oil all over it till the rat got lose, leaving a few hairs. That was one bedraggled rat, but he went boundin off into the grass, stopping just once to look over his shoulder and chattering at me. I don't speak rat, but I am sure his momma never taught him those words.
The same place also sells electrical devices that are supposed to repel all kinds of critters, everything I have read about those devices says they don't work. I do know that Mrsnotmrjohn bought one that you just plug in and it makes roaches go away. The device created just enough heat to cause the roaches to cluster around and in it.
Your best bet is to seal up all around your house, get rid of any insects in the house, and manually catch the lizards and toss um out the door.

Answer 7

Truly, why would you want to? The same way you can trap cockroaches.

Answer 8

my uncle catched 5 with his own bare hands once. he moved very gently towards them and then hold out his hands, one by the head and one by the tail, and then swiftly just grab them of the tree/wall. they'll wriggle hard, so don't loose your grip or they'll jump and escape. Good luck.

EEEEEEEEEWWWWW I HATE REPTILES...!!!!
