House geckos are fascinating little creatures known for their ability to climb walls and ceilings. If you have a small house gecko that needs to be captured and released outside, it’s important to do so safely and without harming the gecko or yourself. Follow this step-by-step guide to safely capture a small house gecko:

Gather the necessary supplies

Before attempting to capture the gecko, you’ll need a few supplies. These include:

  • A clear plastic container with a lid
  • A thin, flat object (like a piece of cardboard)
  • A pair of gloves
  • A flashlight (optional)

Approach the gecko with caution

Approaching the gecko calmly and cautiously is essential to avoid startling it. Keep in mind that geckos are fast-moving, so it’s important to have a plan in place before you start.

Use the container trapping method

With the supplies ready, follow these steps:

  1. Put on your gloves to protect your hands.
  2. Slowly approach the gecko, making sure not to make any sudden movements.
  3. Once you are close, place the container on the ground nearby and open the lid.
  4. Using the thin, flat object (like a piece of cardboard), carefully guide the gecko into the container.
  5. Once the gecko is inside the container, quickly but gently put the lid back on.

Release the gecko safely

Now that you have successfully captured the gecko, it’s time to release it safely outside. Follow these steps:

  1. Take the container with the gecko to an outdoor area.
  2. Find a quiet spot away from predators and obstacles.
  3. Gently open the lid of the container and allow the gecko to crawl out.
  4. Leave the container open for a few minutes to ensure the gecko has safely moved on.
  5. Once you’re sure the gecko is gone, retrieve the container.

Prevent future gecko intrusions

If you want to prevent future gecko intrusions in your home, follow these tips:

  • Seal any gaps or cracks in windows, doors, and walls to prevent geckos from entering.
  • Keep your home clean, minimizing food sources that may attract geckos and other pests.
  • Use screens on windows and doors to create a barrier.
  • Consider installing gecko repellent devices or natural deterrents.

By following these steps and preventive measures, you can safely capture a small house gecko and prevent future intrusions. Remember to treat the gecko with care and release it back into its natural habitat to promote a harmonious coexistence.
