Option for pesticide/ herbicide free yard space:
If you elect to have a pesticide/ herbicide free yard space, you can pick up a universal sign to place in your yard at the main office. If you choose to do this, you will be responsible for the following:
- Place universal sign near your door in the flower bed area (front and back door)
- Signs can be returned after the Fall Application or at move out. We hope to reuse these signs for future residents.
- Remove all weeds in grass turf and sidewalks that may accumulate. If maintenance of weed removal is not completed, applications will be applied during the next seasonal treatment cycle.
