The "skeeter guards"

[Kurusu]

Two of my ever vigilant skeeter guards.

Just two of "the resident" geckos that keep my house free from mosquitoes.

Ever since I let them thrive the number of mosquitoes that manage inside the house dropped down to almost zero.

Edit. Sorry for the very poor quality photo.

Many years ago, my wife and I were in a pet store. Suddenly, a small lizard ran across the shelf in front of us. My wife said to the clerk " Do you know there's a lizard loose in here?"
he replied "Yeah, there's five of them. We don't have any bugs at all."

My MIL.....

... a little anole lizard living in her kitchen. She had lots of greenery and he seemed to do fine. He got downright tame and would come check us out so I saw him about every time I went in there.

VERY unfortunately...

If a lizard gets into our house it is doomed. I try to catch them, sometimes I can and sometimes I can't. Then they hide. A week or so later we find a poor, desiccated lizard somewhere.

I even kick spiders out of the house if I can catch them. Flies and roaches (the BIG American variety) get no quarter from me.

My dog got another Jesus Lizard the other day. They did about 5 or 6 laps around a palm tree and the lizard made a break for the fence, big mistake. I don't know why she didn't try to climb the tree.

He shook her so hard that an egg came out. Brutal.

The ones that can "walk on water". Only saw photos and footage of them. They don't "happen" here.

Used to get those gecko lizards in Hawaii. Man, those l’il dudes would take over a place.

I recall once returning to our house after it had been empty for some months and opening the bedroom door. Geckos leaping all over the place! Gecko poop all over the bed.

Yuck.

They sure don't......

They sure don't 'happen' here. We have a few strange critters in the SE US, but no water walking lizards.

More like running on water.

while assigned to Kadana AB Okinawa we had geckos in the house but we did not cock a roaches, spiders. Every night when the lights went out he would say good night. we barrowed a mongoose treated it like a family pet. some a habu snake find it way into the yard. the house sat on a small lot it was big enough for the house a clothes line and to park a American car. the lot had a concreate block fence. so if the snake got in the yard it would not take long to find you. they were very poison and there was/is no anti venom.
