Different ways how the cicaks died at the hands of cicak killer!

1) This cicak hid behind my table, I quickly pushed the table against the wall ! The cicak was squashed to death between the table & the wall.

2) This cicak was on top of a glass vase filled with water. I used a stick to push it into the vase. It tried to climb out but each time I pushed it in. Finally it died of drowing.

3) Cicak in my mom's bathroom, I used a hose and sprayed water at it. The cicak fell into water tub and drowned.

4) Cremation . Once I killed a few cicaks and rolled them into a newpaper and burnt them outside my house....haha!

5) I gave a sidekick to a cicak on my gate . Splat! with all the juices oozing out..

6) Put fly paper under my fridge. After a week 2 cicaks died on the paper.!

7) Short circuited cicak .(accidental) . After power on the pc, the power supply exploded. Found a burnt cicak inside the power supply.!!

The screecing cicak !

One incident that freaked me out was a screecing cicak! Damn! Once I was chasing a cicak in my main hall. The cicak sped to the back of my TV cabinet. Since the space was narrow, I used a walking stick as my weapon. After waiting a while ,this cicak appeared and I quickly poked at the cicak with the stick. Suddenly I heard a high pitch screecing sound. I though the sound was due to the stick rubbing the floor but each time I applied pressure on the cicak's body, it would screech! eeeiiitt! eeeiiitt! . I stomped the stick on the cicak and finally it let out a load screech and died. Then I saw some liquid like blook ozzing out of its body..yucky!

Weapons to kill cicaks!

My best short range weapon is the fly swatter. Normally one hard whack is enough to kill it. For long range weapon , I use a thin rotan due to it's flexibality. Other alternative short range weapons include slippers, rolled up newspaper, plastic rod from the dust pan etc. In areas where it is difficult to use a rotan / swatter, I use the pesticide spray to immobilize the cicak. After the cicak move out within range , I would swat it immediately.

The cicak car !

For those with cicak phobia, never buy a white car !! We have 2 cars a black wira and a white iswara. I drive the iswara but sometimes I use my wife's wira . Normally after parking my car at my mum's house or at my in-law's house , we would spot a cicak going into the gap at the door of my car. My wife would then freak out and refuse to go in my car! It is impossible to kill/chase a cicak once it goes into a car. I would have to go home to get the wira because my wife refuse to sit in the iswara for the next few months! I noticed that cicaks love white cars (due to it can camouflage with the background). Many times we had to switch cars so I decided not to use the iswara when I fetch my wife...this made my hate for cicaks grow stronger..!

Cicak with 3 lives!


Most of the time, one hard whack using a flyswatter would be sufficient to kill a cicak but this cicak had 3 lives! After a routine killing session, i left it's body on the floor. The next day , I was suprised to see it sticking to the dressing table. I used my flyswatter to poke it and it moved up slowly. I gave it a very hard whack and it fell to the floor. The next day to my suprise, I saw that the 'dead' cicak was stuck to the dressing table again!. This time I whacked it more than 10 times but it still managed to crawl on the floor! I was mad and used the swatter to chop it into pieces. Luckily the cicak stayed dead!


Weird Cicak !! one of a kind!

Search & destroy mission !

On a few occasions , me or my wife would spot a cicak in our masterbedroom. My wife would freak out but volunteer to be my assistant by keeping a close watch on the cicak while I go to get my weapons . I would rush downstairs in the middle of the night to get armed! Killing the cicak ain't easy because I would have to move some of the things in our room in order to get into the right position to kill it. There is no room for mistakes or else the cicak would hide somewhere beyond my weapon's range so I would have to kill it by hook or by crook . If the cicak is not killed she would have sleepless nights , so out of love for my dear wife, every attack must end with the cicak's death!
