Hi, Cyndy
That's what I tell the renters who stay in our condo -- which would you
rather have, roaches or cute little geckos who are much more nervous
about you than you are about them? ;D
We have lots of the little house geckos with the big black eyes, too.
Our plain but pretty local Hawaiian ones, plus the spotted, speckled,
ridged, and variously colored Mediterranean ones that have started
appearing over the last 4-5 years or so.
We often see the eggs in the female house geckos on the windows at night
... and frequently find eggs of all three species in our house, along
with hatchings of all three, too. I've captured & relocated outside 2
house gecko hatchings, 1 Mourning gecko and 5 day geckos, just this last
week.
The funniest ones to watch are the light gray ones with the dark spots
that arch their backs and expose their claws like Halloween cats and
will even stand up to the much larger P. laticauda on our banana trees
in early dusk in the race for the papaya and the meal worms! I've had
to stop feeding them, as the competition has gotten too fierce in the
bananas!

Why would any one spray when they could have geckos instead? I loved the gex
when I lived in Hawaii. We didn't have the Day geckos in 1979, the last time I
was there, but the other gex were great fun. I remember one on our sliding
glass door that was so small it was transparent and you could see the bugs it
consumed inside it. Growing up in Hawaii is one reason I love all sorts of
interesting creatures.
Sherron,
They may be eating insects that have been treated with pesticides from outside
your home [I hope not]. The coloration maybe a symptom of there discomfort,
some of my house geckos darken when they are about to die.
