Are Geckos considered vermin?
And, if not, why not?

hardly...they're insectivores / harmless..and not to blame.
...with worldwide (temperate/arid) distribution.

Gee guys!

Cut me some slack, just let me kill the little bugger that works for Geico(?)

Specifically to, well - all, I spent some time in the proper regions (cockroaches the size of a house cat) and know the status of anything that eats insects.
I also know that they make for a real unpleasant squishy/slippy thing when stepped on late at nite; and that it is wise to wear shoes 'round the house.
