How can we lure a gecko out of a fully screened in Condo?

2 weeks ago I saw a little gecko in the living. Haven't seen him until yesterday, when he crawled on the walls in our bedroom. I know they're not dangerous but still kind of annoying. Thanks for your ideas. (We don't want to kill him! But get rid of it.)

Cover it with a cloth, pick the cloth up carefully with the gecko inside and relocate it outdoors
I wish I could do that. But he's mostly too high up on the walls. As soon as I approach him he goes higher and vanishes behind a picture or the clock... But thanks anyway for your answer.
If you have a fish net, you could get him that way. If he is still alive, he must be finding food to keep him healthy in your house. You may want to adopt him for a while if he isn't bothering you, who knows what he is finding and where!
Butterfly nets work good, tape a tasty fly or bug on the wall where you can reach with your net.
Will tell my husband to catch flies! Hope that works. Thanks for your answer and have a nice weekend.
Hold the door open while you get behind him and work him to the door , sometimes those little buggers can be very fast, my mom use to live in Florida till this past June, Ive worked a couple of them out of her closed in area also,,Good luck!
