We’ve got a company that comes around and floods people’s yards with Bifen to kill off all the “invasive pests”. I don’t know how many of my neighbors are using them, but I worry that it’s higher than I want to believe.
That sort of thing should be illegal. I feel guilty enough using spot-treatments but it’s the only thing I’ve found that keeps ants from invading my house :/
I do similar and there’s several species of bees in my flowers all season long. I need to get some butterfly-attracting stuff out there too.
The biggest issue is that your neighbors are also a huge factor, and if they’re using pesticides then you’re fighting uphill no matter what.
