I see the top one and think 2 things:
a) That looks like a lot of maintenance
And
b) They conveniently left out spiders, all those other bugs will attract a shit ton of spiders and I hate spiders. I like ladybugs, dragonflies, butterflies and such, but not so much that I'm willing to deal with spiders and wasps.
If someone has a way to solve both those problems I'm all for it lmao
Snakes might eat the spiders...
Large feral creatures like bobcats and wild dogs might eat the snakes...
Bears could eat the above...
At some point the detractions just might be outweighed by the benefits though:-).
There was an old lady who's an expert on these things. Perhaps she's still alive
When wintertime rolls around, the ~~gorillas~~ bears simply freeze to death.
I know an old lady who swallowed a fly ....
Spiders are still an important part of the ecosystem.
I'm well aware, that's why I don't advocate for their total extermination like I do mosquitoes lmao
But they can do it away from me, those assholes don't need to hang out above my door or inside my car or under my outdoor seating to be part of the ecosystem...
They're literally just vibing
I have lots of trees and shrubs in my yard with lots of spiders, but no spiders in the spots you describe. When they have better natural homes they're less likely to try to live in your spaces.
