I don't mind geckos as they keep the insects down but every horizontal surface in my shed is covered in gecko shit.
I have to put a car cover over my cars just to catch their poo.

Yeah been there Dave.....Possum piss is about 1000 times more evil IMO.

I have just started having some problems with the Geko population...........not sure what I'll do yet, but they always prefer to crap on the good jobs......

yes they are introduced 🙂

Make sure you don't have any delicate electronics like chlorinator pool equipment or computers because they will get in, then short out the bloody internals! lol

Sooooo glad this thread got started... at least now I know it's not just me that's got Gecko's going nuts this year !!!

I'm guessing it's the increased mozzies etc. around from all the wet weather, but I've gone from having one or two Gecko's on the ceiling occasionally to now having 10 or more most of the time !!!

AND their sh!t damages paint...

Kind of...the Subie is gone and there is a rotary going in there apparently. Just finished doing a shed slab for his shed so he can get started on it.

The geckos in my shed are not the introduced ones. They are dark brown and fight to the death with the imported ones and seem to be winning. They make some noise when they fight.
