Sprayed broadleaf herbicide and who knows what else thru the chain link

Last time they did this they left a calling card. This time, I don't
know for /sure/ that it was them because there was no little sign left
in the yard. I'm gonna call the county Monday and find out who they
sent out to spray the fence line (the county owns the house) and then
complain to the EPA this time instead of complaining directly to Chemlawn.

I don't think the EPA will yank their applicator's license, but there
ought to be a stiff fine for applying pesticides without following the
label restrictions.

Place a few black trash bags on your side of the fence. Document
with an image. Let the folks know if their is spray gets on your bags
It will be an legal issue. This ruse caused my neighbors to call off
aerial spaying 10 years ago.

Bill considered a ******* but so be it . This with relatives.
