Where I live the town has a rule against tall grass because it attracts rodents. Between that and the fact that their grass overflows onto the public walkway a warning to cut it makes sense.
People love to see exotic animals, but hate the biodiversity required for such animals to exist.
Rodents attract foxes, coyotes, snakes, and birds of prey. All of which are parts of a healthy ecosystem. Additionally, some rodents are beneficial to the local environment.
I think ticks are the biggest worry, but I'm my eyes, they're just mosquitos that can't fly.
