Hi.  For a non-destructive trap, he might be able to rig up something like a lobster trap out of a gallon milk container, possibly cutting down a  large what-do-you-call-it that you use to pour things into a small bottleneck or an empty toilet paper roll, so that the geckos could pass through into the container but couldn't get out, and put some adult crickets in there.  I think this would only work for one room per device, though.

Here's a copy of a nice e-mail I got from a Texan with geckos in his house:


I found your contact link on the Gecko Ranch web page - I
hope you can help
me answer a question:  I need to remove the geckos that are in my
house.

I've lived in Texas for many years and little geckos are always making
their way into the house.  We haven't minded them too much and I
understand
that they help get rid of insects.  However, last year my wife gave
birth
to twins (boy/girl) and we have another boy on the way.  Today she
found
our 18 month old son chewing on something - it was a gecko!  Now my
wife is
a rather squeamish type, so I hope even a gecko lover can understand
that
she doesn't want to go through that again.  She was mortified. 
However I
know we have several more geckos running around the house because I've
seen
several different sizes.

I've searched the web several times, but haven't found any kind of trap
or
other mechanism to effectively remove the little creatures from the
house,
and I don't want to kill them.  Everything on the web tells you how
to
bring geckos INTO the house.  Can you or someone in your
organization tell
me if there's a trap I can use to catch geckos, and if theres an
effective
bait that will attract them?

Thanks,
Dan Carey
