This duo creates an olfactory and sensory barrier: non-toxic for you, but deterrent for them.

A few additional precautions and tips:
Renew the mixture every two weeks or so to maintain its effectiveness.
Regularly clean areas where you’ve seen geckos. Fewer insects = fewer geckos.
Seal small cracks around windows or doors: these are their favorite passageways.
Ventilate your home well to limit humidity, which also attracts mosquitoes… and therefore geckos.

If you live in an area where these animals are prevalent, this tip can greatly limit their presence, but it’s no substitute for good home hygiene. Don’t hesitate to combine this method with other simple everyday actions to keep your home healthy, dry, and unwelcoming to insects.
