Wall geckos, commonly found in homes, are often considered harmless and even helpful as they prey on insects like bugs and cockroaches. While many people appreciate their presence, others associate wall geckos with superstitions about evil omens. In this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we’ll explore practical ways to prevent wall geckos from entering your house.
If you’ve spotted a wall gecko in your home, a simple method to deter them is by using garlic. Cut garlic into small pieces and place them in areas where you’ve seen geckos. These creatures dislike the smell of garlic. In addition, maintain a clean and clutter-free environment, especially in your kitchen, to reduce hiding spots.
Wall geckos primarily feed on insects, so eliminating their food source can help keep them away. Use insecticides to control and reduce insect populations in your home.
Prevent geckos from entering your home by sealing all wall and window openings. Even small gaps can be entry points for these creatures. Use cement or sealant to close any openings and cracks.
Another effective method is using eggshells. Break eggshells and place them in areas where wall geckos frequently pass. Geckos tend to avoid eggshells due to an apparent fear of them.
In conclusion, dealing with wall geckos in your home can be a persistent concern, but you can successfully prevent their entry by implementing the strategies outlined in this article. These methods, including using garlic, maintaining an insect-free environment, sealing wall and window openings, and employing eggshells as a repellent, can help you achieve long-term success in keeping wall geckos out of your house.
