Home with the lizards

Caroline gave up her home and job in the UK and moved to Malta less than a year ago. She has blended well with her new surroundings, going to her village festa and learning Maltese. In this post she writes about her uninvited family lodgers at her home in St Paul's bay:

When I moved to Malta I was quite pleased to realise that they don't have the BIG black hairy spiders of which I'm terrified of back home......instead they have lizards.This wasn't a problem to start of with as the only ones I had seen were these cute little ones that ran along the ground. My son and I would look for them on the rocks on our morning trip to the shop. The problem has taken a turn for the worse...we have lodgers!!!! On our terrace, which we relax on in the evening, we have aquired 2 geccos or what ever they are called. These things are certainly not cute and linger in the shadows stuck to the wall. They are transparent with suckers on their feet which enable them to climb and hang around under the balcony above us. They appear from nowhere. I get this feeling of being watched, I turn my head and there they are, eyeing me up! Well a war is on now. I'm not having them take over my terrace....any suggestions?
