Lizard invasion?

One of my friends in TX is having trouble with brown house geckos coming in her house in the summer. Does anyone have an idea as to how to keep them out?
 
Cool! I would like that kind of invasion. But so would my cats - unfortunately.

Geckos are nocturnal, and eat bugs. So the first thing I would do is to make sure there are no bug attracting lights on at night, near any doors or windows that don't have tight fitting screens. I have seen geckos (and frogs and toads) hanging out around lights at night, munching down bugs. Then they find hiding places in nooks and crannies during the day. If the nearby nooks and crannies have broken screens, you will probably have unwanted visitors.
 
Thanks!

I had about the same thought-we wouldn't mind a few lizards inside, but with two indoor only cats who only get to hunt the occasional escaped cricket...yeah....

I think this was case of "You have reptiles, so you're an expert on them".
 
Hi, a TX gal here.
They are searching for water, aunts become a problem in the summer, too, for the same reason.
Make sure screens, windows, & doors are tight fitting. I can't be much more helpful :/
