Come Rains and Wild Plants grow Wildly

Every living creature needs water. However, we humans can drink water from a bottle or fill a tumbler and gulp the liquid down our throat. Trees and plants also feel thirsty but cannot drink water from a bottle or a tumbler. They wait for the rain to fall and quench their thirst.
And the rains have arrived. And how happy the plants are! We don't need to water our flower plants in the garden. We just see the flower plants turn fresh and green .
What is annoying is that even wild plants and bushes grow wildly in this season. And with them grow the menace of mosquitoes. Nothing surprising if we suddenly find serpentine reptiles creeping in and out of those bushes.
I have bought a phial of herbicide. One round of spraying I did last week with good results. Quite much of wild plants around our house have died. By another round, I hope to have a clean yard around our house.
How do you get rid of such wild growth?

Well we pull weeds out by hand and get the roots also
We don't use herbicides
But the recent rain has brought with it some really fast growing plants that are going to be more difficult to remove so a bit of hard work ahead
We quite like all plants growing and trying to keep them under control by leaving some wild ones for the bees etc.

You can't water gardens in the same way as the rain does. Plants just spring into life. We used to spray for weeds but we don't have enough garden to bother now. .

I am staying in an Apartment complex. So there is a team of gardeners to take care of such stuff.
There is some composting that is done but I am not sure if all the wild growth goes into that.
Also, regular fogging is done especially during the Monsoon months for Mosquito control.

To put it simply, I just don't try. I find by trying, it doesn't last.
