Second Dory's technique. We have some I call "speed geckos" that I have to thrash and stomp all over to try to put a lid on them literally .... Catch 'em only 20% of the time. Toss them back out and some how they are back in the next day ... LOL
Sorry, wish I knew proper names .. The bright green ones with red and yellow seem to possess greater intelligence and are openly curious to us as we work around the house. I will set up do do some sanding on my work table outside and I can see them peeking at me from the rafters. Next thing I know I have two of them on the table leg getting a "ride". This happens nearly every time I go do this.
My son and I have had them walk right down next to our hands as we were working too .... Put something colorful out and they will be right there to check it out. Guess its like a lot of wild life ... Don't move to fast, feign interest and they will come to you.
I swear these little guys make a game out of coming in the house ... Walk in and there they are, looking at me : ) LOL
I get my gecko stick and as soon as I move it slowly towards them, they head for the door or window. A couple more and they run right out.
Fun to have them around and nice that they pick off lots of other bugs trying to get in the perimeter..
aloha,
