Gecko to the Rescue

In addition to our normal levels of cockroaches, ants have decided to join us in the apartment, especially in the kitchen and the bathroom. If I leave out an empty mug with sugar on the bottom, and I usually do, I can be sure that it will be filled with tiny tiny ants in a few hours.

And that's why we're so pleased that a gecko has moved into the kitchen cupboards. The little beasts have been an obsession for a while, and our own couldn't have come at a better time. Here's hoping he eats to bust a gut every day.
