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.

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…
Joseph was very communicative in explaining the process and explaining what he would be doing , when he would be coming back and educating me on some of things were that were around my yard. This was our first visit.
Super cool and considerate of our many pets. Joey has the best rapport with our dog compared to any other home service.
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…
Excellent, professional service. Emiliano is great.
Excellent professional service 👍
They are so courteous and so helpful! Always do an amazing job! Definitely the best company out there!
Richie was friendly, informative, and efficient. He helpfully answered my questions and offered solutions for our needs.
Dacoda did great! Efficient and thorough service. Took time to answer all my questions and offered suggestions for me to continue good stewardship of my home. Explained that he could add something today instead of scheduling an extra trip so that was a nice touch. Thanks!
The technician, Matt, was knowledgeable and helpful and friendly.
Excellent service.

Matthew did a phenomenal job at explaining the services that were provided as well as spraying both inside and outside our house!
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

#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.…

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…
sometimes it's great to have someone take care of your even if you can't be there
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.
He was fast to respond to my concerns and fair not over charging me. Also very precise !!
Joe was great! Professional and efficient. Thank you!
He showed up on time and kept me informed about his arrival. He told me what he was going to do.
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.
Tech answered my questions and made sure he hit the areas that I mentioned that were a problem. Excellent service!

Very professional and communicative.
Megan was promt at getting us an appointment. Service is great and on time. Repetitive service and in between is a great deal and ideal to maintain a bug free home and yard.
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 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

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…
Your technician was friendly and did a great job 'webbing' and spraying for bugs and spiders
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 😊
Gecko is great, they have been servicing our home for a few years now and every time each technician is professional, thorough and knowledgeable and they even leave you with a service card showing everything they did complete with a picture of the technician who serviced your home. Thank you Gecko!
They are always so nice, respectful and quick! They always ask before the service what, if any, new problems have risen or if old problems have came back. They always make sure your needs come first.
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.
Shawn the tech and the office staff were very friendly and professional. We received confirmation of appointment via text which I really appreciate.
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
Being fairly new to Oraville area it was a pleasure to meet these people and do business with them Roger was phenomenal knowledgeable professional funny engaging and I look forward to working with them for a long time many thanks!!
