Has anyone ever bothered to ask themselves that the ridiculous propagation of the idiotic ritual killing of every terrestrial arthropod by suburbanites throughout every municipality east of the Mississippi might actually be a major contribution to this outcome?

I'm pretty sure the ruralites kill way more arthropods since they spray much larger areas.

I don't have a clue what you're talking about, but then again I'm from west of that river. Mind elaborating?

Monsanto sells products to annihilate most insects to ensure monoculture lawns. Have you not seen that throughout America?

[TaylorAlexander]

In California I haven’t seen much advertised in this regard. You’re saying it’s common elsewhere?

[sjg007]

California has less bugs... In the midwest in most cities/suburbs you have to maintain your lawn for the purpose of keeping the bugs and noxious weeds down. If you don't, it's a code violation. I think the real reason is that mosquitos like to hide in them... Find a way to keep the mosquitos at bay and maybe we can have more natural lawns.

We (as city folk) kill all of the insects we come across in our homes.
