Gecko extermination encompasses a range of methods employed to eliminate or control gecko infestations. Geckos, small lizards commonly found in warm climates, can become a nuisance when they enter homes or other structures, often seeking shelter, food, or water. Effective gecko extermination requires a comprehensive approach, addressing both the immediate removal of existing geckos and preventive measures to discourage future infestations.
Gecko infestations can pose several concerns. Geckos may contaminate food and surfaces with their droppings, potentially spreading bacteria or parasites. Their presence can also be unsettling for some people, particularly those with herpetophobia (fear of reptiles). In some cases, geckos may cause damage to property by chewing on electrical wires or nesting in sensitive areas.
