Who regulates lawn services? (ChemLawn)

I figure they must have a commercial "applicators license" to use herbicides. Who issues that license? The *******s treated my neighbor's back yard last week, and they sprayed 2,4-d through the fence and into my vegetable garden. I recognized the twisted new growth as being herbicide damage before I even found the little ChemLawn sign in their front yard. While I was writing down the phone number from the little sign, another neighbor came by and said he's complained to ChemLawn before about them leaving Weed-n-Feed granules all over the sidewalk when they were done. Bob Bob, Sorry to hear about your garden. Most states regulate the lawn care industry but, in most cases, the "safe use" of herbicides is not done very well. You may also check with your county, some have some regulations that they must follow. One way to deal with companies like that is to sue them in small claims court (sometimes not worth the trouble). If you have a local TV station that has a "consumer affairs" person, it may be worth it to call them and see if they will do a story on them (especially if the lawn company gives you any "lip", which they OFTEN do). -- Bill R.
