Understanding Gecko "Problems"
We get calls every once in a while asking for help with "gecko problems" at homes in Midlothian and Prosper. It's understandable to not want little critters climbing all over your walls—but when it comes to pest control, geckos are your friend.
Why Geckos Are Beneficial
They eat bugs! All kinds of bugs—roaches, beetles, wasps, ants...you name it. So if you're trying to control the pest population in and around your North Texas home, then geckos should be welcome!
What geckos eat:
- Cockroaches and roaches
- Beetles and weevils
- Wasps and flies
- Ants and termites
- Spiders and crickets
- Moths and mosquitoes
The Only Way to Get Rid of Geckos
If geckos are just not for you, and you cannot stand the sight of them, then you only have one option for getting rid of them: pest control! You have to eliminate their food source (bugs) from your home, which means you have to implement some sort of pest control program.
How pest control removes geckos:
- Eliminates insects geckos feed on
- Removes their reason for being near your home
- Forces geckos to relocate to find food
- No direct harm to the geckos themselves
- Creates a less attractive environment for lizards
The Connection Between Bugs and Geckos
Geckos don't randomly show up at homes. They're attracted to properties with abundant insect populations. If you're seeing multiple geckos around your Midlothian or Prosper home, it's a clear sign that you have an insect problem.
What gecko presence tells you:
- You have a significant bug population
- Insects are active around exterior lights
- There are entry points insects are using
- Your property provides ideal hunting grounds
- Professional pest control could benefit you
Benefits of Professional Pest Control
Implementing a comprehensive pest control program provides multiple benefits:
- Reduces all insect populations around your home
- Naturally discourages gecko activity
- Protects your home from damaging pests
- Creates a more comfortable living environment

Making Peace with Geckos
Consider giving geckos a chance! They:
- Provide free, natural pest control
- Are completely harmless to humans
- Don't damage your property
- Are actually quite beneficial
- Help reduce chemical pesticide needs
Either way, geckos are there to help!
