When Kathy Thompson of Broccolo Tree & Lawn Care prepares a work order nowadays, the words ?EUR??,,????'?????< Broccolo, like other lawn care applicators operating in Monroe County, must notify the neighbors of a customer at least 48 hours before pesticide is sprayed. Eight other counties and New York City have opted to do the same. Supporters of the pesticide Neighbor Notification Law say that alerting neighbors beforehand permits them to take precautionary steps, while lawn care companies consider the law an unnecessary burden ?EUR??,,????'?????< ?EUR??,,????'?????< Still, how companies comply can differ widely ?EUR??,,????'?????< Broccolo sends out notification postcards three to four days before each spraying. By contrast, One Step Tree and Lawncare, based in Chili, did much of its notification for the entire year last month, said Greg Adams, president of the company. The 2000 state law permits counties to require prior notification of neighbors when commercial lawn companies are used. Neighbors whose land borders or is within 150 feet of the property to be sprayed must be notified at least 48 hours in advance. State authorization was needed because the state regulates the use of pesticides. In 2005, Monroe County, acting at the request of County Executive Maggie Brooks, opted into the new notification system. Source: Rochester (N.Y.) Democrat and Chronicle
