I didn't realize that geckos eat spiders.  Getting rid of the competition, I suppose?  

Do geckos eat ants?

Of course nothing can be left uncovered. You're in the sub-tropics fer christ's sake...!

If it wasn't jinjok poop, it would be flies or ants, take your pick.

That's what fridges are for!

edit: Your landlord doesn't live there, you do. How important it is to get the problem resolved is 'up to you'. A local metal fabricator or similar could make new screens for your doors/windows at a fraction of the price for new.

But that's your call. Put up with it for free or pay for peace of mind. It won't stop the ants though.

subtropic.....yes you are leading us to the solution.....
Cool down the room to 15 degree I am sure they can't handle it and their food can't also.

To get rid of the small lizards ... get a big one !

We locked a big gecko in our bedroom for two weeks when we went abroad, he probably got in a day when we left a window open. When we came back he was waiting for us right in front of the door, just above the window. We got a little bit of trouble to get him out of the house (they bite and they have small but sharp teeth !) but the bedroom was totally free of insects, spiders and small lizards.

My apologies Crossy,  but you must appreciate the frustration caused by smart-assed replies which are only generated to belittle others.  I can expect an Englishman to be slightly pedantic about snakes  etc., but as i said, in Queensland we live with 8 of the worlds 10 most deadly snakes, so not easily phased with snakes. And Queensland is a sub- tropical climate.

This is my last reply to this repetetive topic. Along with others, I have posted that the solution lies in renewing the damaged screens. You have dismissed these comments on the grounds of cost or it being the landlord's responsibility. Fair enough. My light-hearted comment that you keep items subject to fouling under cover (I though you were referring to food which was why I wrote 'fridge', as you hadn't made it clear) you dismissed as smart-assed when it was meant in good faith. Had I known you were so touchy I wouldn't even have bothered replying. You appear to have taken a severe dislike to my posts in particular where others have expressed similar sentiments. My comment about 'snakes and spiders' was a bloody JOKE for heaven's sake! You could have guessed that by the use of a smiley.   I wasn't trying to belittle you but if you took it that way then I'm sorry but please lighten-up and stop with the personal attacks.

FYI I am not English, but British, not that that has anything to do with matter. My advice was predicated on the time I have spent in Thailand, not the UK. Please don't drag nationality into the argument. Regarding your deleted posts, I haven't used any abuse towards you and don't appreciate being sworn at.

Thank you.

Please accept my apologies,  i probably misread you !   And yes i do get a bit "touchy" at times as there really are some stupid idiots in here, with nothing better to do but 'take the piss' and i do not easily tolerate persons i perceive to be stupid.
Once again Simon   sorry !
