My Yard is Pesticide Free

I haven’t sprayed my yard or home with pesticides for the last 10 or 11 years. I used to have roaches – you would see them on the patio after dark and a few would venture into the house, especially after a heavy rain. And they would nest in the bottoms of my potted plants. I raised the pots up off the ground and stopped spraying. The number of roaches has diminished to the point where I rarely see one. No more roaches in my pots either. Could this be a result of the beneficial insects controlling the roach population? P.S. I also have geckos in my garden.
