I don’t know where you live but where I’m at you will be eaten alive unless you are literally wet with deet spray(in areas that have all native plants and grasses). I don’t mind visiting but as far as my backyard, I’ll pass.

Eaten alive by mosquitoes and blackflies, which do well even with grass. As someone who also live in an area like that (Ottawa) I was amazing when I moved across the river to Gatineau where they let their green spaces be wild and was amazed I was biking along the same river at the same time of year and there were very few bugs.
Naturalized ecosystems allow predators of mosquitoes and flies to thrive and control their numbers.

Please let the Pemberton area of BC know this. As wild as it gets, I have never seen so many mosquitoes in my life.

You have ticks and chiggers up there too? I bet they spray the god damn dog shit out of those green spaces and make sure any standing water has been treated if it’s a yuppy area like you are describing. Plus your cold winters kill a lot of them off right? You ever been in the deep south near Louisiana? Even better, South America?
