Yeah, those are Mediterranean house geckos, and they're everywhere in the south. They're not that hard to catch and release outside.
Ah, I'm an elf from the woodlands (rainy part of PNW), not familiar with them personally.
I did once trek east toward Mordor and freeze up and slowly retreated from an aggrevated rattlesnake in the badlands... can't say I ever saw a gecko though.
... But I have seen a good number of newts back home. They can be ... mildly neurotoxic, but they thankfully tend to stay in their bogs and such.
You mostly see them in the evening on houses near light sources (because bugs). I used to always enjoy watching them on my bathroom and kitchen windows as a kid. Now I get to save the babies from my cats on a regular basis.
It's fairly uncommon for adults to make it inside, so I'm betting OP's biggest issue is an insect infestation.
