I wuv my wittle gecko buddies. Dey is so fun to watch and pway wit. However,
their population has increased dramatically as I have quit using general destruction chemicals. This would not bother me but for three things. 1. The huge amount of gecko poop and eggs that cover the inner workings of my hottub. 2. The huge amount of gecko poop and eggs that cover everything in my backyard storage building. 3. The potential for geckos to inadvertantly causing expensive electrical/mechanical failure in the hottub workings and killing themselves. I have considered harvesting the poop (much like bat guano) and selling to discriminating gardeners. Also under review is a gecko egg hatchery to help spread the wonders of geckoness. Unfortunately, the initial capital investment is too large for me to cover. My wife and I both work fulltime (and then some) so the time involved in cleaning up after them is time taken from more pleasant pursuits. In a pre-response to the inevitable replies of "animals own this earth, so get used to it" I would like to offer this observation: Humans are animals, too. One of the things that makes us different is that instead of mindlessly killing another animal that intrudes in what we think of as our territory we can seek a non-lethal way to dissuade the intrusion. Recently the dove guy was lambasted by animaux for hating doves. He had asked for a legal way to limit the population in his yard. animaux told him to move away to the middle of the ocean. Yet when she discussed her own methods of keeping cats and dillos out of her yard she was so proud of herself. To quote a famous book, "all animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others." This seems to apply in more ways than one. http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~allport/c...t/notalbks.htm Anyway, does somebody have a legal, non-lethal, earth-friendly, politically correct, animal sensitive, PETA approved, patriotic, etc., etc. method for achieving a UN sanctioned peace accord and territorial division with my wittle, hairy-toed buddies? |
