Since new wireless communication boxes were installed on the powerlines in our neighborhood, trees are dying, garden and landscaping plants struggle more, and we no longer have any bats to eat up the bugs at night. Some of my neighbors have noticed this as well. It's worse for the vegetation at the homes located closest to the pole with the new box.
