Why are we using glue traps? These should be illegal.

Agree. It was mentioned up thread. I was pointing out how mafen and stupid they are.
I thought we were discussing checking the anus, which could be illegal.
I took pictures. Need a macro?

I thought you were going to say, “I do not check the anus.”
Do you get better car insurance out of a Gecko’s anus?
You thought wrong. Now you know 
I also like taking photos. But im not a fan of humans, so theres that

Hey everyone, time for an update on the Great Gecko Escape! 
So, first, I tried catching the little speedster myself, but it turns out I’m no match for a tiny ninja with sticky feet. Someone suggested I set out cups with eggshells and garlic, crack open the windows, and leave it overnight. Apparently, geckos can’t stand the smell and would hit the road. 
It seemed like we’d finally outsmarted our scaly squatter… until it popped up again a few days later. Classic gecko move, right? 
I think instead of hitting the road, it just bunkered down somewhere deeper in the car, probably laughing at my efforts.
Time for Plan B! We parked downstairs, cranked open all the windows and the sunroof, and turned on the parking lot lights like we were hosting a rave. The idea was to attract insects to the lights and hope our little guest would go for the buffet instead of whatever snacks it found in the car. 
Well, I think it worked because we haven’t seen the sneaky little guy since! 
Thanks for all the wild and wacky suggestions, everyone!
Godspeed, little gecko! May you find greener (and less enclosed) pastures!

For some reason I expect the next post from you to be about getting all the bugs out of the car…
if your car smelled like garlic in the end, not a total loss! Smells delicious and the super OCD “you know who” wont ask for a ride anymore. win win.

Does it work the same way with cars as it does for homes? The part where you have to give permission for them to go inside?
Asking for a friend…
Not everyone wants to save on car insurance…

I was actually trying for the garlic → vampire → “Let the Right One In”/ “Let Me In” movie track.
Buddhists or geckos?
vampires
bats are easy to get rid of with open windows and light as well. many species don’t like to fly down when scared, , but they find their own way out easy if too bright (park in the sun) but i only have experience with insectivorous and fruit bats. never a vampire.
It’s why horsefly trap works. They only try to fly upward, not downward.
im curious about these horsefly traps. there exists many bee and fly traps that use simple upward habits of species.
Well, at least the one I’m helping to manufacture, it’s a big black ball that gets hot in the sun. The heat attracts horseflies which will try to bite it, then it will fly upward instinctively for some reason. Except above the ball is a clear hood and a plastic funnel that catches it. It’s kinda similar to this…
Except the one I’m making is clear plastic. Harder for the flies to see I guess. The plastic collection bucket can be filled with water to drown them. But once they’re in the bucket they don’t get out.
