Geckos are small, harmless reptiles that feed on insects and mosquitoes, making them excellent allies for the domestic ecosystem. However, their presence in the home can be annoying for some people, especially those who are afraid of reptiles or simply do not like their company.
Although they do not represent a danger, geckos can leave excrement on walls and near light sources, where they gather to hunt insects. If you want to keep them away naturally, without using chemicals that are harmful to the environment or your health, here are some effective remedies you can try.
1. Garlic and onion
The strong smell of garlic and onion is a natural repellent for geckos. You can place garlic cloves or onion slices near doors, windows and corners of the house where they could enter.
2. Pepper and Chili
Geckos are sensitive to strong odors. Mix water with black pepper or chili powder and spray this solution in the critical areas of the house.
3. Eggshells
A traditional method to repel geckos is to place eggshells in the access points. It is thought that geckos associate the shells with the presence of a predator and leave.
4. Peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils
