Why We Should Never Chase Away House Geckos and Lizards
Some animals have superpowers — and geckos are example! Starting with their sticky toe pads and their ability to cling to walls and ceilings, ending with their exceptional nocturnal color vision. When people see geckos in their garden, many want to get rid of it as soon as possible. Here are 5 reasons you should stop doing this.
Geckos can feed on dangerous insects.
All reptiles are believed by some people to be dangerous. There are many reptiles that are not dangerous to humans, and some species can even be beneficial — just like common house geckos. They feed on insects that can often be harmful — cockroaches, moths, flies, spiders, termites, and wasps.
If geckos live in your garden, it probably means it’s an ecologically clean area.
Many chemicals can be toxic for geckos, so if these reptiles come to your place — it’s a good sign. It means that your garden is ecologically-friendly. And insects can evolve to resist insecticides, so they might either never leave your garden at all or come back to it as soon as the insecticides evaporate. Therefore, a more natural way to get rid of these pests in the garden is to let the geckos do their job.
Geckos won’t eat anything from your garden, unlike birds.
