Really? I've had the opposite experience. Two pests I can't stand are mosquitos and cockroaches, and they both seem to thrive in lush, natural lawns. Whenever I mow, I notice an immediate and significant reduction in their numbers.
- jwr 7y agoMosquitoes breed in standing water, so the height of your grass should have little to do with their population.
