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

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.

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