Any insect or pest needs food to survive and many find it in backyards. When you install artificial grass, you limit the amount of food available.
This happens because there’s limited access to soil, which is where insects find a lot of their food. You’re also eliminating flowering grass, thus taking away plant-based foods.
When insects and pests realize your lawn can no longer provide sustenance, they’ll look for it somewhere else. This means they won’t be nesting or breeding in and around your lawn.
In addition to the comfort you and your family will feel with fewer pests around, you also eliminate the need for pesticides that could harm your pets or children.
