Indo-Pacific geckos are an invasive species but don't let that name fool you, they have not been shown to compete aggressively with native species for the most part. The brown anole by contrast is much more invasive to the SE US and has driven the native Carolina Anole out in many regions. The gecko is a successful invasive species due to its reproductive abilities; they are parthenogenic, which means the all female population lay fertilized eggs without males that hatch into genetic replicas of themselves. They are neither toxic to native wildlife or humans; rather thet are quite accomplished pest eaters, and will gladly consume all of the cockaroaches in their territory.
