Got roaches? Get a gecko.

Living the New York City has its unique attributes, one being the mutant size roaches that infest most apartments here in the city. A new weapon in the ongoing struggle is the use of geckos.

The gecko family of lizards, when not making insurance commercials, spend their time eating bugs. Cockroaches are a particular favorite, I’m told. When you get home, release the little guys under the sink or anywhere else they can find their way into the walls. The next sound you hear should be contented chomping.
