I stopped cutting my grass and now I have rats :(
Or, like, insects.
They don't live off grass but long grass is great cover for them to move freely. My lawn is pretty wild, but I have to mow directly around the house otherwise mice and all sort of insects start taking up reaidence in the house.
Tons of blackberries.
lmao my guy rats literally eat everything
they eat seeds, overgrown grass develops seeds. man this thread is ridiculously misinformed lol even on RATS
Simple, get an owl
Now we have an owl infestation
Simple, get a condor
We do have foxes, but they've been a disappointment thus far.
I'm not sure where you live but if you can find some native seeds from your area, plant those! It's the perfect time in many northern-hemisphere places for overwintering things like wildflower, clover seeds and more! Fancy lawn grasses are bogus and weak
