i use the sticky mats too.
from cosway
they work for me!
once i found the skeleton of one gecko on the mat. very gross
of course i screamed and called for hubby to throw away. lol

cicak at my house not so smart
but the ants very smart
they can swim in a glass of plain water and not drown.
how?
they climb on top of one another

will try cucumber next
but how?
put all over my kitchen?
coz they're everywhere on the sink counter

waaaahhhh~~
once a cicak ran across my foot i almost died!
i'll never choose to touch one. lol
eeeeee!! got goosebumps d just thinking bout it.

btw, i tried the cucumber skin to get rid of ants.
didn't work. the ants at my house all samseng. they walk over the cucumber skin
