Question by thedb04: The presence of geckos is giving me alot of anxiety. How can I deter them from coming in my home.?
I know they eat bugs, but considering I live on an army post in Texas, the insects are more abundant then the geckos and the geckos that are coming in are 2-3 times small then the bugs. I can’t use moth balls because our neighbor has a dog and i don’t want to hurt it. I don’t want to hurt them, I just want to keep them away from doorways. I am from the north, were geckos don’t run free, so i have never been exposed to them in that nature. I understand that they are good for the enviroment, and no amount of people are going to convince me to be okay with them in my home. If anyone has tried any methods that worked, please let me know. I have used Snake-away in the past, but i wasn’t sure if it would work on Geckos. We have lived here for four years and I become clinally depressed because of the presence of geckos. The presence of them in my home make me irrational and anxious. I think we all agree, that one should be comfortable in thier own home. Thank you !

Whats wrong with geckos. I would love to have them in my house.
they are just geckos, they won’t hurt you or your family. i have three words for you: GET OVER IT!
Hire an anti-gecko Rambo… He could sit in your front porch with his explosive bow and arrow , and blow them into the 4th movie of him that is coming out.
I never knew anyone who wanted to get rid of them before, I lived in Hawaii also on a military base and they were always in my house, my cat killed a lot of them, and in Hawaii they kill cockroaches that are the size of small mice, so I really didn’t want my cat to kill them. Sorry , I don’t have any suggestions other than get a cat.
I found a suggestion of tee tree oil or citronella applied to windowsills or doorways.
