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.

What ever state you are located in will have a regulatory office that
regulates pesticide application. They are who you need to contact rather
than the EPA. Some states it will be Dept of Ag other states will have
specialized regulatory board.
