It went into the kitchen where it was hiding. It was late and i wanted to sleep so i closed the kitchendoor with metal screens against mozzies and thought i'll deal with you tomorrow. The rat had come through the drain in the shower because the lid was off...i put the lid back on it and went to sleep. Next day there was a hole in the metal screen of the kitchendoor, the lid of the drain in the shower was out again! and there was poop of it everywhere in the bathroom. I was amazed that it could make a hole in the metal screen, go back to the showerdrain and even open the lid of it to go back where it came from.....now we never leave the drains open anymore. Wildlife here is great, it's not the first time I've found a small snake in our bedroom - comes in when we leave dried washing folded in the basket on the verandah for a while or the cleaner leaves the window (and screen) open - if she does that again she's sacked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardColeman Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 We have them in our living room, under the tv, sofa, the fridge. Few in the kitchen. I love them - but then I also have a wife that sweeps and scrubs the house twice a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it when they all feast on the insects at the outdoor lights, sometimes 5-6 of them are there together waiting for the termites after the rain...they can eat one every minute and can easy eat 5 of them in a sitting. But they still scare me when they hide in the coffeemachine or just jump on me head suddenly. I really cannot tolerate when they leap out of the toaster. Other than that I tolerate them; as was said they do terminate a lot of insects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that I tolerate them; as was said they do terminate a lot of insects. I turned on my toaster one time and a strange smell and smoke started coming out of it. When I turned it upside down a barbequed cockroach fell out. The experience quite put me off my usual beans on toast for a few days.

Kinnock Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I think it's a myth that they eat mosquitos. I've seen mozzies flying around their heads with no reaction. They run around chasing crawling insects and larger flies, but they ignore mosquitos. Admittedly not a comprehensive study, but they don't seem to be effective as a mozzie control system and I still need to get the electric tennis racket out.

I not want to kill. For what. Live together. Like my pet! Cute. And eat mosquito. Thailand everyone can live together. The dog, cat, chicken, lizard, pig, duck buffalo, cow, etc. Everyone friendly together. No problem. I not like kill anything. Not the ant. If mosquito in my car just driving with window open that fly away. i give the answer for the rat. Leave the light on nighttime outside. this good thred. Only if one animal can have the life. if kill food ok if 1) have the good life. Like house chicken. 2) kill it quick, good way. Poison and glue trap cruel. And not for food. shellfish ok.

They tend to wait until the mosquito has landed on a wall and is stationary before they attempt to eat it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever you catch in those glue traps, check them regularly and immediately kill anything thats trapped in them , it would be cruel to discard them whilst they are still alive , as they would take a long time to die, maybe weeks to die of thirst . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkspeaker Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 geckos eat roaches, spiders, gnats, mosquitoes AND unlike bugs, they respect your space. When I lived in a house here i never had one jump on me and even if it did by accident who cares.. it's stupid to wanna get rid of them .. I now live 24 stories up but so I don't get to have them anymore but would be happy to.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
