I see you're taking good care of your Nepenthes, but what about your lawn?? However, if I'm not mistaken, that looks like a southern lawn. Hard to do anything with it when all the pine needles fall.
That really upsets me the focus goes from my neps to my lawn. Working 60 hr weeks and doing other stuff around her with three kids, I do what I can. Considering I just cleared that area of brush this spring, I think it's coming along. When you can do better on my budget let me know.

And FYI it's shaded by oak trees. No pines in my yard.

Not to mention the nursery inspector told me my hobby operation was one of the best and well grown he has seen. So I have priorities with my precious limited time. I already do enough work under flood lights. I'm not cutting grass or other yard work that way.
I have never had insect problems on my neps. Even with mealy bugs on my orchids on occasion. But maily no problems. When outside you also have natural controls to take care of bugs. And I will spray if I have to but that is rare.
