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. Joseph is our tech and he is so polite and respectful and goes over and above to make sure we are spider-free. The owner came out when the scheduled tech was…
Great Service As Always… Professional and efficient…
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. Nothing says confidence like "I use it for my dogs". Seriously, cannot thank you all enough for how amazing your…
Timely and courteous technician.

Just treated my home..Mathew is always so kind and courteous and shares tips too. Thankyou
Called in, the front office staff was kind and got someone out within the week. Joseph was quick and reliable, I noticed a huge difference in the amount of bugs just in the first few days.
Richie was friendly, informative, and efficient. He helpfully answered my questions and offered solutions for our needs.
The technician, Matt, was knowledgeable and helpful and friendly.
Polite and took care of business. I mentioned ants and he baited them Great service.
Gecko pest control provided pest control for our house in Durham. Friendly, hard working, Greta customer service!!
Matt is so kind and knowledgeable. I can’t do bugs and creepy crawlers - he instantly put me at ease. Can’t wait to see how the service holds up, but awesome first impression of him and the company
The service tech was here around 15 minutes a nice guy but I feel he could be a little more thorough. We have a slightly larger home and don’t think a thorough job could be completed in that amount of time. As stated in the service report he used 4 gallons of whatever to treat the area
Gecko does an amazing job with pest control at my house. They are always quick to come out when I have an issue and I love that I am not having toxic chemicals sprayed all over my property!
We’ve had a great experience with Gecko Pest Control, and especially with our service technician, Richie. He is always professional, friendly, and incredibly thorough. You can tell he really cares about doing the job right and making sure everything is taken care of. Richie takes the time to explain what he’s…
Matthew arrived within the time expected. He asked me about my pest problems and provided excellent service with a smile.
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!
