Thanks for addressing this question. I have noticed a decrease in the bee population, a die off issue with my azealeas, as well as a total loss of the fish in my pond as a direct result of this issue. When I asked them not to include any over spray into my yard, the person spraying insisted it was a harmless 'natural' spray (applied with a gas powered leaf blower type machine). He refused to stop spraying the property line in my direction. One time he even sprayed my puppy at the fence right in the face. I finally took to watering the trees on the fence line with a hose when I saw the blatant disregard for my property. When he responded (soaking wet) with angry profanity, I assured him it would not hurt him as it was a 'harmless natural spray.'
