Carolina's right, geckos are great !!

they work for free, keeping the bugs down.

plus, they provide entertainment for our kitty with their dashing ways.

when they're just hatched (or born, whatever) they've very very small, and can easily get inside... if your doors are tight-fitting, and your screens un-holey, they'll stay, and make a nice chirruping noise, while they work.

when we moved from the guesthouse to our new home (across the property) at first, there were no geckos to sing us to sleep.

after a couple of weeks, we started seeing them, little tiny ones, an inch or two long.

that's what makes a house a home... and we're GLAD to have 'em around !!

geckos totally ROCK !!!!

only drawback is gecko-poop, which shows up around the baseboards, and sometimes on the bookshelves.

but I consider that a *small* price to pay for all the hard work the geckos do eating flying and crawling bugs which might bite ME...
