How to entice lizards to move out of my house?

[Obie]

Phelsuma Geckos or Day Geckos are an invasive species that has wiped out the brown house geckos.

They like sweet stuff, especially sugar--there used to be one that hung out near my sugar canister, and I rescued another from a pitcher of orange juice.

Maybe use something sweet to attract them, then move them outside.

Get a cat or two.[]

He who hoots with owls at night cannot soar with the eagles in the morning.

They are very cute, love them. Traditional Balinese will not move into a newly built house until geckos have moved in. Here I think they are great to watch, the intelligent way they hunt insects against a screen, Puna tv. Yeah they do poop, but so don't we all and there is really a lot of crap around here anyway.

I think we need to have a multi-thousand dollar study to determine whether it is more humane for a Gecko to die from being eaten alive or stuck to a glue trap and being frozen to death.

(I freeze them and scrape them off and I can reuse the trap.)

WEll, I think I know what is going on. I haven't seen them in a while, and so have not been able to try and capture them, but it's been really cold up at my house. It's probably at least 1000 feet up here. The lizards are probably in semi-hibernation. Hopefully, they went outside, but I think this is doubtful. They probably came inside because it is so cold outside.

Just so you know, in Hawaiian culture Geckos are known to be good luck in your home.

"The household gecko brings good luck to a home and killing a gecko is to invoke bad luck. Hawaiians have much respect for the gecko not only because it eats its weight in insects, it bears a great resemblance to the powerful aumakua, the mo’o." - http://www.hawaiianlife.com/content/geck...%E2%80%99o
