Hi All,
Very interesting topic.. I just move to my new place in Telok Blangah area and i must say just less than 2 months stay.. i have killed more than 4 lizards!!
You wont believe how big those lizards are as i suspect they belong to gecko gene cos normal domestic lizards does not have spotted prints on its skin..
Just 2 nights ago, i have killed a lizard (unintentional though) which is about 4 to 5" in size!!!! It was crawling just behind my masterbedroom door where i hang all my pyjamas.. wah liew eh.. have a shock of my life cos i never seen such a big lizard before.. Its head is as big as my pinky!!
Well, to cut the story short, manage to cos it to fall to ground and i quickly use a rolled up newspaper and start chasing till it ran to the guest room where i killed it... Quite disgusting as when i whacked it, its Sh*t came out.. Why it was so easy for me to kill such a big lizard is becos i have derived a theory, the bigger they are, the slower the run.. Thus manage to kill it in time before i start to worry when i sleep and i am sleeping to a big gigantic lizard..
Sprayed baygon still can see lizard tummy breathing.. wah piang.. this lizard i must say very resilient.. My wife does not dare to clean up the mess where i have to do all the mess.. haha..
I noticed that normal lizard trap may have a prb to catch such a big lizard.. anyway the trap prove to be very good.. caught some small lizards when i put the trap up overnight.. viola.. lizard stuck inside..
I dun have any qualms about hving lizards its just that the sh*t they leave behind on the wall is very irritating..
Beside lizards, cockroaches are at times regular visitor to my new place
Maybe i stay somewhere near to mount faber, it attracted quite unusual domestic pest though.. bettles, bugs, etc..
Worse nitemare, praying mantis!! Can you believe it??
