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.
Starting service with Gecko was straight forward and a smooth process. The technician, Joe, explained the service thoroughly and asked questions to determine what pests I was needing help with. He was able to easily identify the species based on my description and explain their behaviors to me. He explained the…
Great experience. Roger is so nice and personable. He explained everything so well and was very thorough.
Richie was amazing! I highly recommend Gecko Pest control to keep bugs at bay
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!
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.

Right on time and have no problem with special calls. A special thank you too Matt B. For going above and beyond, alway…
#1. Used a couple bug businesses in the past year. This is the best considering knowledge, professionalism, and always prompt. Great change for me. Forest Ranch is not easy to keep up with. Each year a different group of bugs arrive. #2. Trouble with gnat’s, baby scorpions. Called to see if anything might be done.…

Rodgers is a great guy with a very good attitude . He's always happy and professional . Glad I found Gecko pest control and Rodger will be my pest control guy . Nice trucks and logo .
I had them take care of my niece, who is having a really bad problem with wasps. They couldn’t even leave out the front door. Now they are so happy.. Thank you very much they did amazingly great job.
Matthew was very nice fast and informative.
I’ve had this company for a couple years already at least and at multiple properties. One particular property has had a rat or two show up on multiple occasions. 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…
Drew was very informative explaining how, what & where service would be performed & reassured me that I could reach out anytime if needed.
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.
Jordan did a great job servicing our home. Really appreciate the attention to detail in removing any spider webs from the eaves.
Matt the service technician was helpful and took time to explain everything and patiently answered all my questions. He even took time to look at additional problems. Pleasant and personal. Couldn't ask for more from their great staff.
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 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.
I appreciate having the bugs taken care of. I don't like waking up in the night with anything climbing on me. Or going into one of my sheds and being attacked by wasps. Thank you for taking them out for me.
Gecko pest provided speedy affordable and detailed oriented service to our home in Durham. Jorden the Gecko tech was professional, and detailed oriented, he even informed us our side gate wasn’t latching correctly and provided us with a bunch of sticky traps! Highly recommend their service.
Personable employee who does the job well with attention to details.
Awesome service. Thanks Joe. Very informative and answered all my questions. Highly recommend this company.
Drew did a great job. My only concern is that he used granular material in the backyard. We have chickens and you suggested we not use granular because they might think it was good.thanks!

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.
Very reliable and courteous
Joe did an awesome job thank you
Gecko has been coming every other month for the last year since we bought our first home. We had a pretty noticeable bug problem, especially with roaches and spiders, but after two visits from Gecko, we were already seeing a huge improvement! Now we rarely see bugs inside the house, although now that summer has…
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!!
Roger was really professional and nice. He sprayed inside and out.
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 😊
Drew has done a ton of our pest and rodent control. He’s always very responsive and professional and gets the job done!
We had Drew come by and take a look at some pests that have been popping up in our neighborhood and he was able to tell me exactly what they were and where they come from! He was very knowledgeable and helpful in every way. My wife and I have been using Gecko for years and we definitely recommend them!
Very professional and pleasant human!
