I worked in the corporate office at a bank in 2008-2009 and they stopped all landscaping , which included no longer mowing the large field out front. Everyone thought we had gone out of business because it was so overgrown and they would call to ask if we closed. We also started having issues with snakes and mice on the first floor. Eventually they had some guys come mow and we watched out the window as mice scattered in every direction.
