That’s great to hear Yoshiko, I hate discovering these in our traps. I found sometimes, when they’ve been in the trap a while, they need time to recover so I have a small container that I place the gecko in, with a little water, until it’s gathered enough strength to be released, though yours sounds like it was still pretty lively. I usually release them as late as possible in the day to avoid them being taken by birds.

Kondo Sent: Wednesday, 4 September 2024 8:26 PM To: pestlist@googlegroups.com Subject: [PestList] thanks - Gecko I would like to thank for the precious advices for gecko. Yesterday I've found one alive in the trap so as the suggestion, I used vegetable oil (olive oil) and little by little, the young gecko was detached from the adhesive sheet and run away. Thank you so much for advice!! best wishes Yoshiko -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MuseumPests" group.
