The Real Reason That Drives Them to Do So Revealed"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>With the arrival of the summer months, geckos start to appear on the balcony and even inside the house: why do they do it?<\/strong>Gecko on the balcony &#8211; Imilanesi.Nanopress.it<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the return of summer and very high temperatures,&nbsp;<strong>we tend to open the windows<\/strong>&nbsp;to allow all the rooms in our house to enjoy the sun&#8217;s rays and also to circulate as much air as possible. However, opening the windows&nbsp;<strong>leaves the field open to all the insects<\/strong>&nbsp;that slowly return to invade the house. Let&#8217;s think for example of flies and bees, but also mosquitoes&nbsp;<strong>.<\/strong>&nbsp;Furthermore, with the return of summer we see other little animals that love high temperatures appear much more often in the house. Among these are geckos&nbsp;<strong>,<\/strong>&nbsp;which in the summer months are easily noticed on the walls of the house and also on the ceilings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Geckos on the Balcony and in the House, Here&#8217;s What Attracts Them: You Shouldn&#8217;t Send Them Away<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What brings geckos to arrive on our balcony and in some cases to enter the rooms of our home? This little animal, whose scientific name is&nbsp;<strong>Tarentola mauritanica<\/strong>&nbsp;, goes in search of the same food that the lizard feeds on, with which it shares the kinship.Gecko \u2013 Imilanesi.Nanopress.it<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gecko, in fact, eats flies and mosquitoes,&nbsp;<strong>but also cockroaches and moths<\/strong>&nbsp;. Compared to the lizard, it also has an edge, since the&nbsp;<strong>suckers<\/strong>&nbsp;on its legs are ideal for climbing walls and moving on any surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make a long story short, geckos tend to be seen on our balconies and sometimes even inside the house because they know that&nbsp;<strong>in these areas they can find food<\/strong>&nbsp;. In addition, geckos love warmth and tranquility: two characteristics that they can easily find in the rooms of our house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What to do when you come across a gecko inside your home? Is it necessary to send it away? Actually, no, since these little animals&nbsp;<strong>are excellent at eliminating insects<\/strong>&nbsp;that roam around your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, geckos are crazy about flies, mosquitoes and cockroaches, all insects that can easily populate the rooms of the house in the summer months. This is why geckos&nbsp;<strong>can become precious allies<\/strong>&nbsp;to considerably reduce the presence of these&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/imilanesi.nanopress.it\/vuoi-allontanare-formiche-e-insetti-da-casa-aggiungilo-al-detersivo-per-pavimenti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">insects<\/a>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s not all, because tradition has it that geckos are also considered as real&nbsp;<strong>amulets against bad luck<\/strong>&nbsp;. For these reasons, the advice is not to chase away geckos but to live with them without problems, also because they do not cause any harm to humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use cold water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are also those who simply cannot stand the presence of a gecko in their home and at the sight of this little animal they try any remedy to chase it away.Gecko specimen \u2013 Imilanesi.Nanopress.it<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The advice, in this case, is not to use&nbsp;commercially available&nbsp;<strong>chemical products . The ideal is to opt for a natural solution, such as&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>cold water<\/strong>&nbsp;. Just throw a little on the gecko to make it quickly flee from the house or balcony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The alternative is to enrich the balcony or the rooms of the house with plants that give off&nbsp;<strong>an odor<\/strong>&nbsp;that the gecko does not like. Let&#8217;s think for example of horseradish, a plant that geckos just can&#8217;t stand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the arrival of the summer months, geckos start to appear on the balcony and even inside the house: why do they do it?Gecko on the balcony &#8211; Imilanesi.Nanopress.it With the return of summer and very high temperatures,&nbsp;we tend to open the windows&nbsp;to allow all the rooms in our house to enjoy the sun&#8217;s rays&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8987,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8984","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nanasadvice.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8984","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nanasadvice.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nanasadvice.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nanasadvice.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nanasadvice.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8984"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nanasadvice.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8984\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8988,"href":"https:\/\/nanasadvice.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8984\/revisions\/8988"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nanasadvice.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nanasadvice.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nanasadvice.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nanasadvice.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
