I stopped cutting my grass and now I have rats :(
Rats do not live off grass. If you have them, there's some sort of food source on your or your neighbors property.
Or, like, insects.
They don't live off grass but long grass is great cover for them to move freely. My lawn is pretty wild, but I have to mow directly around the house otherwise mice and all sort of insects start taking up reaidence in the house.
Tons of blackberries.
lmao my guy rats literally eat everything
Yeah, but they really can't digest grass.
they eat seeds, overgrown grass develops seeds. man this thread is ridiculously misinformed lol even on RATS
I'm not sure where you live but if you can find some native seeds from your area, plant those! It's the perfect time in many northern-hemisphere places for overwintering things like wildflower, clover seeds and more! Fancy lawn grasses are bogus and weak
