We have been using Gecko for several years. Megan in the office is always so helpful with scheduling and so helpful if we have an issue in between service.

Update Feb 2026. Still absolutely in love with Gecko. Seriously from their office staff to their techs, they are amazing. Matt gave me some suggestions for flea treatments that HE gives to his dogs.

My tech was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and thorough. Great job, great experience!!!
I was on site several weeks ago, which was helpful for discussion and plan of action. Drew did a great job as far as I can tell. Lets see if the Ants get the message and move out. ;o)
Always professional, friendly and good at what they do!
Richie Abelia is always very thorough and helpful when he troubleshoots areas that pop up with new pests. He does the right treatments that get the results I want. I really appreciate that he has been on my service account for months now as I feel good about the service I’m paying for. Thank you, Richie!
Always great service by Gecko. Dakota is great. Very responsive and on time. He explained everything well and gave a lot of insight on pest issue. The office staff is great as well. Always friendly and they get everything scheduled in a very timely manner.
This was a new experience for me as I am very concerned about pesticides. Drew addressed my concerns about protecting spiders and pollinators. Ants were are problem. The ants inside and out are gone and the pets can eat in peace. Great office service and communication skills 😁
Matthew was very professional and great personality. Was very happy to have him at our home.
Roger is the best he’s always on time and does a great job. Many thanks !

They are always very respectful in my home and completely understanding of my crazy schedules. The care they take for my…
Drew did a great job of looking for rodents in my attic today and repairing a broken attic vent screen.He was very personable and professional. He installed a camera and some traps in the attic.

One call to Gecko and their rep is here fast. Communicate is great and service is always the best. I really love that they only charge and service every…
Matthew was very thorough on explaining Gecko’s services as well as being realistic with me about our issues. I never felt pressured to use their services from speaking to the dispatcher when I originally called to schedule or from Matthew. Very happy with their services, and I will continue to use them for preventative pest control.
Joe was great! Professional and efficient. Thank you!
Very professional work by Matt Barber. Explained services and what he would do. Options for treating pets, services that can be retained, and work to be preformed.
He showed up on time and kept me informed about his arrival. He told me what he was going to do.
He was helpful and knowledgeable, he helped me take down my wasp nest that I had litterly all around the house. Great cleaning up afterwards.
Mathew, our tech, was quick, professional and effective. Gecko pest control has been easy to work with, cost efficient and responsive. I honestly have nothing but good things to say about the service they have provided to my family.
Tech answered my questions and made sure he hit the areas that I mentioned that were a problem. Excellent service!

Matthew wilder is a great asset to the Gecko team. Very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and is happy to explain the products he is utilizing. Thank you!
Jordan came out and cold knocked one day, after trying to handle the problem ourselves we figured it was better to call the professionals. He and their office were awesome. I called, asked to have Jordan come back out to help us before a party and he made it out the same day I called. Very thorough, professional, and informative.
Jordan was the best. He spent the time looking for the problems we relayed to him and took action to fix those issues. If I could give him his own stars rating it would be a 10. Thank you Jordan Frank!
Been using Gecko for about a little over a year now. Always on time and comes back if needed. Our current tech does great and gets us what we need for our spiders and ants. Highly recommend
Gecko is always great! They are very communicative and helpful. I’ve seen great results from their service. Every member of their staff has been awesome to work with and they keep detailed notes on my property’s layout/preferences since I have free range chickens and pets. This month Matt did a great job and was super helpful and nice. Thank you Gecko!!
Very happy with Gecko. Follow up is amazing. They always call and check on things and there is free follow up after they come to make sure issues are taken care of. Will continue with every other month service. Very happy 😊
Jorden Frank at gecko was kind, responsive, answered all my questions and let me know what to expect next. Great first impression. Thanks.
Drew has done a ton of our pest and rodent control. He’s always very responsive and professional and gets the job done!
Very professional and pleasant human!
Very professional and thorough pest control company. Their employees go above and beyond to make sure the job is done well. Definitely recommend!
Megan was very informational and got our house scheduled right away. Roger came out and walked us through what he was going to be doing for the time he was there. Roger is very professional and personable. Highly recommend.
Gecko always does a great job. Very knowledgeable and professional technicians every time. Friendly, too!
Since we switched we have had any mice getting in our home. Friendly service. I like getting a message when you will be coming out.
Very friendly and professional.
I moved into my new home 2 years ago and discovered that I had an ant, cockroach, pincher bug, and spider problem. Eeek! The Rep assigned to me (Ross) and office staff when I called were patient with my zillion questions and concerns. For 6 mos. I did interior and exterior treatments including cobweb removal, spray,…
This is an amazing locally owned company that has far far exceeded my expectations in their service. I have used other pest services in Chico in the past. I was very disappointed with both their service and professionalism. Within one service (which would be done every two months going forward). Gecko remediated…
Mathew Barber was our technician today and he did a top notch job! He was very responsive to our needs and went beyond the call of duty to help us. Thank You Mat and Megan for getting us scheduled so quickly. You are great to work with. Cindy McDermott
Gecko Pest Control is great!! We have had them out twice to our home now. Extremely professional, reliable & fantastic with communication! Matthew serviced our property and did a great job. We haven’t seen any bugs since we’ve started using Gecko and I love knowing that the products dry quickly and are as minimally…
I have been using Gecko for a couple years for routine pest control. Ridge was very professional and listed to all concerns. He was prompt with service and went straight to work.
I have been using Gecko for a few years now and I appreciate what they do to keep the ant problem down. Plus, I don't worry about my pets as the organics they use are non-toxic to pets and humans and are very effective. Today Ridge checked in to see what services I needed today. I showed him a nasty ant area…
Ridge does a fantastic job at my house keeping it pest free!! He is very prompt and professional, I highly recommend Ridge and Gecko to anyone needing pest control service. Thank you 😊
Your company is very professional. Ross is a very polite and savvy about his job.I would recommend him to all my friends and neighbors.
It is always a pleasure to see Ross who originally set me up to receive your services. As always he does a great job cleaning up the cobwebs and using the appropriate organic sprays to deal with the ant issue. Thanks to his good advice years ago, the rat problem is gone....2 thumbs up..Joan K
Gecko is the BEST !! Superior Customer Service, attentive to my needs, conquered my ant problem on the first visit ! They followed up as promised. Ross is VERY Professional and explained in detail as to what was causing the ant situation. Ross is extremely knowledgeable, professional and overall, a kind human being…
Ross has been on time and been nothing but awesome both visits. He was very knowledgeable and obviously cares about what he does for his customers. He answered all my questions and was very friendly and comfortable with my animals upon both visits which made it even easier. Whatever competition your having, he should win!
Shawn was awesome! We switched to Gecko because we needed a company who was consistent with their scheduling and appointments, and we got exactly that. We received a text the day before our appointment, and Shawn gave me a call 20 minutes before his arrival. When he arrived he was extremely professional and knowledgeable on the service. Would recommend!
Gecko is my regular go-to pest control. We had ants pretty bad in several different areas of our home last year. Ross came out and treated inside and outside. Within several weeks the ants were gone! I would recommend Gecko to anyone. My husband and I have kept them for regular service and it's been awesome to not…
Professional, on time, reliable all of the things that are rare these days. Use these guys, you won’t be sorry
We used Gecko for a recent ant issue at our home. Joe came and was professional, kind, and really listened and asked detailed questions regarding the issue. We went from ants in all bedrooms and bathrooms to after just one treatment no longer seeing ANY ants! Incredible. He asked to come back out to service again to…
