I just found a gecko at home, do I need to get it out?

Geckos are beneficial insects, so you don’t need to drive them out. They can eat mosquitoes and they will disappear on their own in winter. Don't bother.

Gekko is a type of lizard, also known as "gecko". In the southwest region, it is called "four-legged snake", "Babi tiger", "Babi lizard", etc. The body is flat dorsally and ventrally, and is lined with granular scales or mixed with wart scales.

The ends of the fingers and toes are expanded, and skin folds are formed below them, which are densely covered with glandular hairs and have the ability to adhere. They can crawl quickly on walls, ceilings or smooth surfaces.

Life habits:

Geckos are nocturnal animals. During the day, it lurks in hidden places such as wall cracks, under tile eaves, and behind cupboards, and comes out at night. In the evenings of summer and autumn, geckos often appear on walls illuminated by lights, under eaves, or on electric poles, preying on mosquitoes, flies, moths, spiders, etc. They are beneficial and harmless animals.

When a gecko is frightened or when you catch it, its tail will break immediately as soon as you touch it, and the gecko will take the opportunity to escape. This phenomenon is called "self-cutting" in zoology, also known as "self-cutting", "self-mutilation" and "self-cutting".

Because there are many nerves in a broken tail, after it leaves the body, the nerves do not lose their function immediately, so they will still swing, which has a scaring effect, and sometimes can achieve the purpose of self-defense.
