I live in a decidedly different environment, but have also let my yard go to native plants (the HoA is mad, but the state passed laws protecting my native plant yard so they can get fucked) and it took a couple years for there to be a bug balance.

I had a ton of aphids the first year, but the second year the aphid wasps and lady bugs knew where I lived to handle them.

Nature will balance itself if possible
