A friend of mine, tired of the cockroaches in his apartment, went to the
local pet store and bought a couple of gekkos.  Took them home, and let
them loose.

He saw far fewer roaches after that.  He didn't really see either of the
gekkos again, however, except for one time when one got stuck in the
bathtub and couldn't get out.

As far as I know, they're not poisonous.  And they are damn fast.  Your
dog wouldn't be able to catch one.
