Geckos have unique abilities, like sticky toe pads that help them cling to walls and ceilings, as well as exceptional nocturnal vision. However, many people want to get rid of them when they see them in their gardens. Here are five reasons why you shouldn’t.
Firstly, geckos feed on harmful insects like cockroaches, flies, and termites. If geckos live in your garden, it’s an indication that your environment is ecologically clean and free from harmful chemicals. They don’t eat your crops, unlike birds that might damage your garden.
Geckos aren’t dangerous to humans, and while they can carry salmonella, it’s easy to avoid through proper hygiene. Letting geckos do their job can help keep pests at bay.
