Just talk to them!

There is a big gecko which lives behind the bookshelf in my drawing room which keeps running hither thither according to its will. What will could a gecko have? Not that its running out from its hide out, risking its life to go to the bathroom or something, it is plain hunger, the lizard runs behind small bugs which fly around. However I think this lizard is fond of spiders, he (or she...who knows??) is always running behind them which hang like tiny acrobats above his head. To me these spiders look like eight legged gymnast doing their tricks hanging down from the cieling, however for the lizard it would be like a fruit waiting to be eaten hanging down from the tree. (Lizards eye view. I know, you are thinking: "Some people have way too much time". Right now it is true indeed!).

Navneeth noticed a running gecko and suggested that it should be killed. Violence ey! Poor lizard, I thought, harmless  though rubbery and yucky. I told Navneeth that to get rid of a lizard one just has to tell it to get up leave, he gave me a you-think-I-am-an-idiot look. I explained that from childhood I have always talked a lizard out of home. I said “you just have to threaten the lizard to leave or otherwise be killed”, well yes it might sound like that I am trying to make a fool of all of you but the success rate of this technique is quiet high. So to all those who are looking for a pest control method to drive those lizards away just use your tongue to either sweet talk or threaten them out. This technique has almost always worked for me and it might for you too. The only drawback being that after a few days you might see the same lizard (or it might be some other lizard too, well I cannot tell one lizard from the other, they all look the same to me) back in the house, but you can just reapply the technique and ask it to get out, simple.

P.S: Please do try and tell me if it worked for you or if it is just my own childhood-fancy which I am still practicing.
