Freeing Gecko from Glue Trap

Once we could not control our cockroaches any other way and set glue traps throughout the house. Every morning I checked them and one of us killed the caught roaches so they would not suffer for days. One morning Leilani and I discovered geckos in 2 of them. Andy was in California and I nearly had a nervous breakdown, as I really like the geckos and I figured I’d have to kill them.

Fortunately the glue dissolves in olive oil, so with oil, a paint brush and a lot of patience Leilani and I saved both geckos.



We only started photographing once the first one was saved, but this is the other one…

And Leilani had to get her iPad for this photo…
