I am aware that pandan leaves are good in repelling cockroaches. My initial plan was to get rid of those cockroaches in our house but they have vanished! My mother told me that it's because of the lizards and geckoes in our house. They ate all those pests. I am very grateful to these animals, but they are also giving me so much headache. Their feces are everywhere! When I did general cleaning of all our rooms, three to be exact, I found their feces inside the cabinets and under the beds. It took me more than one week to finish all the tasks all by myself. I want to repel these lizards and geckoes. I have already put some pandan leaves inside my cabinet. I haven't seen any lizards yet, but I saw many in other rooms. They came back after I cleaned them. The geckoes are also active in the evening catching all the small insects.

cockroaches ??? :O They are my biggest enemies. I hate them, they are scary and disgusting. I'll automatically run wheneectisidaver I see them :(. Why you don't just use an inssecticide ? Spray it upon them and they'll die in minutes. Some insects are disturbing :( though we keep clean everyday. Just make a war or run away from them :D

Hello, dilrajj57! 
I am always grateful with geckoes and lizards for they're eating mosquitoes, cockroaches, and other insects. I also love animals so much that I can't kill them.
But I'm so scared with geckoes. I feel at any moment they'll jump on me. I heard that their feet are very sticky. I am really scared, but I noticed that they're also scared with me. 
They run whenever they see me at night. I think they're seeing me like giant.

I wasn't aware that pandan leaves repel cockroaches. I should try those just in case the cockroaches come back. We've had problems with these pests lately and we resorted to using insecticides. But as for the lizards, I don't mind a few of them inside the house. Well, they're really few. I think they're less than five. Probably they have less insects to eat inside. We do have quite a few outside, especially in our garage. I guess there are more insects there. But yeah, they do leave feces, sometimes even in closets, but I figure if there would be less and less insects inside, they the lizards would eventually move outside.

Yes. Pandan leaves are great. Are you sure those cockroaches didn't leave any of their babies? When did they leave, beamer88?
I always believe that a clean place will never attract cockroaches. The problem is I don't live here. My parents are already old, and they can no longer maintain the cleanliness of our house. This is too big for them. It's not easy to always clean the whole house. That is why I am finding ways to get rid of geckoes and lizards.
