Some people use geckos as their method of pest control, particularly the Asian varieties. You see, it sort of creates a symbiotic relationship, plus, the animal takes care of your problem. You will need to keep your toilet seats down and a nice bowl of water out.

I guess this would work if you have a continuous problem, like roaches, for example. However, if you've got other pets, this isn't an options. Also, I'd still be worried about the little gecko. (They're really cute, especially the fat tailed gecko).

If it's your garden (flower, herb, veggies, etc) you have two options for pest control without any use of pesticides and you get to use animals. The first thing you can do is take all of your house spiders and space them out in your garden. They'll build. The other option is to go to a greenhouse or nursery and buy a praying mantis egg. Follow the instructions and when those babies hatch, the ones that make it (as Nature's will) will set up housing...
