You graze cattle on your yard? Give the insects a break and do a Np Mow May.
Is No Mow May actually a thing in the US?

Yes, it's been slowly taking off, but it's still very niche. People who participate seem to mostly be home gardeners.

I had a No Mow Spring in my backyard. The yard was cut down less than a week ago because I could not go out there for 10 minutes without my eyes starting to hurt. It was worse if I tried to kill the invasives. My area has had a terrible allergy season.

It is mostly non-native grass mixed in with invasives. There is ONE native plant I put in. Baby steps. I will add a few more natives during planting season.

I didn’t cut the grass this spring and it got over two feet tall in most places. This guy went out there everyday like it was his job. Grass was cut this week but he is still out here doing his thing.
