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.

Gee, doing that in Alaska will get you in big trouble. The
legislature just passed a statute about pesticide application
without notification. Some people are allergic to certain ag
chemicals, like me. (What's with people suddenly becoming
allergic to so many things these days? I can't even walk down
the laundry soap isle in the grocery store anymore, and I don't
have a bad case of "chemical sensitivity" or whatever they're
calling it this week.)

Your state will have some control over their licensed pesticide
applicators. Look at your state website and figure out which
agency licenses them. (It's Dept. of Environmental Conservation
in Alaska.) Call them. Then if you need more help than the licensing
agency can offer, call your local legislator and see if he/she will
help.

Or something like that.

Good Luck,
