Brilio.net - Geckos are one of the reptiles that are often found in homes, especially on ceilings and walls. These blackish-brown animals sometimes crawl in the kitchen, which can disrupt food hygiene. The risk of contamination from gecko droppings is certainly very disturbing. Catching geckos by hand is not an easy task, so many people choose to make traps.
Instead of using chemicals, some people prefer to use kitchen ingredients as bait, such as coffee or sugar. By putting this bait in a trap and leaving it overnight, the lizard can be caught. However, if you don't want to reduce your coffee or sugar supply, there are other alternatives you can try . One of these methods was shared by YouTube user Pas Guna.
He replaced the bait in the lizard trap with white rice. So how did he do it?
First, prepare a jar or container as a trap. In the video, this netizen uses a medium-sized plastic jar. Once done, grease the inside of the jar with cooking oil.
"This is so that the geckos that have entered the jar can no longer climb out because it is slippery," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Pas Guna on Monday (6/1).

Once it feels even, put the bait in the middle of the jar. For the bait, put white rice in a small bowl. It doesn't have to be new, you can use the leftover rice from last night.
"Just put the dried rice there. The geckos will also be attracted if there is food," he said.

Place the trap in places where geckos often land, for example in the kitchen area right next to the rice cooker.

After being left overnight, the lizard trap finally yielded results. In the video, there are already several lizards trapped inside the jar.
"Yes, the result is that the gecko is still alive in the trap. Just throw it outside," he said.
