The good part is they're insectivores, and love to eat bugs. But the barking would be an issue, and NYC isn't exactly gecko climate.

The Victor Quick Kill traps look like a decent option. The glue traps are what the exterminator under contract to my building supplies. (And are preferable to the old style mouse traps, where the challenge is cocking them and placing them without trapping a finger. The mice often prove adept at getting the bait without setting off the trap, too.).
While I suppose they'd work, glue traps aren't what I'd use to control snakes. I'd hire a pro.
(A former co-worker once worked in a pet store. He talked about the fact that they sold rabbits, and he'd sometimes come in in the morning to discover he had less than when he locked up the previous night. He finally realized he knew what had become of the python that had gone walkabout some time previously. It had found a hole in the wall to slither into, emerging when it wanted a meal. He was able to locate the hole and retrieve the snake, and place it in a tank it
couldn't get out of this time...
