We have all had to deal with pest infestations at some point or another in our lives. Sometimes this can be as simple as an annoying amount of flies, but can also mean dealing with rats or other pests that carry vector-based diseases such as mosquitoes or ticks. There is nothing more worrying than the possibility of dangerous pests in your home. They can cause allergic reactions but also carry dangerous diseases.

One gardening method on the rise in 2023 has gotten the attention of people and bugs alike, and it's called the pollinator garden.
