We once put 3 in our house to clean up the cockys and those feral geckos from Indo. They stayed in the house for a couple of years. Did a good job, without much problem. A bit of a mess, but less than the geckos and the mean little one that lived under the stove used to bite your toes when you were cooking if you weren't careful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crushed egg shells and coffee grounds are both supposed to help. I think marigolds, along with things like comfrey are used as trap plants in a 'push pull' system. Slugs make their home in them during the day. In permaculture you would plant them near a frog pond, or over the fence in your duck yard. I think Mollison spoke about it in one of his lectures, but I don't remember which one, or even if it was someone else like Lawton. If anyone is interested I can post the lecture series and you's can go through them yourselves. that sounds really interesting. I'll plant them around the ponds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
