I'm fighting an infestation of daddy long legs in my house and there's this one King-size bed in an unused room where they're all nesting under. I'm not a squeamish person and when it was just one or two I'd happily leave them alone, but after having one crawl on my face at night I absolutely want them GONE.
I don't really want to use bug spray if I can avoid it and I was wondering if the house geckos we get in Queensland eat them as part of their natural diet. The daddy long legs can get BIG but most of it is legs, so would an adult gecko be able to eat them? I already have lots of geckos living and breeding in/around my home but I usually catch and let them outside because I worry my cat might get them or they might not find food.... now I want to bring in a couple of big guys and let them loose in the room so they can take care of the situation for me.
I know they're not a native species, but I'm hoping someone here would know if they can eat them and if the daddy long legs wouldn't poison them or anything.
Thanks for your help!
