I forced my parents to stop wasting money and pumping their yard full of chemicals about 5 years ago. They went from being inundated with mosquitoes and stinkbugs (and absolutely nothing else) to now having what feels like every species of orbweaver under the sun amongst several other spood types, and lizards, and bees, and beetles; it's glorious.
Now that my 8-legged freaks are back in town, though, the mosquitoes and stinkbugs are down to 1/3rd of what they were before. In fact, I've barely seen any and a few of the Joro spiders around here are FAT. Abdomens the size of my thumb!
