The comments here really are interesting.

"2023 is going to attract snakes or bugs" ah yeah that's how nature works.

2022 is when you work against nature.

I immediately thought about insects. Is it not how it works?

If you do it right yup, and your yard becomes a hotspot bees and other pollinators

It's a legit question. Are these yards more likely to result in additional home repairs due to destructive pests? I'm significantly less pro nature when that nature has destroyed my home by chewing wires, eating the wood from my support structure or causing leaks and water damage. I've dealt with rodents causing thousands of dollars in damage before and it completely sucks.

After attracting pollinators the last few years, I finally attracted crickets, grasshoppers, and spiders in my little urban sanctuary this year. I considered it a compliment from nature
