Does sound like grubelice and you are both talking about gekko's. I think it's just bad luck that he's got them in a wardrobe actually, and maybe nothing to do with him living in the Pilbara, not sure though. But you would probably have a bigger change of coming across such things in the 'outback' !!
And I agree, they're usually nothing to worry about!
Sorry, I'm afraid I might be confusing again ??

I have a large family of lizards living mostly in my bedroom. Yeah they are good at keeping the insect life down and for that reason I rather welcome them. By the way I have the largest cockroaches I have ever seen out the back. However one slight prob is that they leave a lot of cr*p behind (especially the daddy). Not too bad to get rid of it from the floor but they seem to like dropping their guts in my wardrobe and not to put too fine a point on it - it stinks. My neighbour says there is something that you can use to deter them from certain areas - anyone know what I should do before they ruin all my designer clobber.

We had the same prob when we moved into our place in Brissy. The place is still overun with gecco's but was advised to spray round our wardrobes with a good incescticide. the kind you pick up at woolies etc etc. Had no pissy smells since! It worked for us so give it a go!

Get a cat !!!!!!!!!!!!! our cat was always catching them in the garden.
I think they are rather cute was always trying to catch them in the school playground at lunch.
I would rather have the lizards than the cockroaches .
Im more worried about our girls finding redbacks in the garden especially as our eldest is a bug expert (the next Steve Irwin ???).
