Using Tru Green and neighbor says it’s affecting her lupus and asked us to stop

Wwyd?? She seems rather delicate and is hard to deal with

Ask her to prove it

it is a bunch of bad chemicals. i hate that our neighbor uses it. I feel bad for the people who have applying it as their job.

You don't have to stop, but realize that you are tracking it in your house. All the chemicals are everywhere. if you have a dog, it is even worse for your health.

How am I tracking it? I don’t step on my lawn. Have a path. Fwiw it’s a second home so we are not there often.

That seems intense

Just stop, not only for your neighbor’s sake but yours as well. All those chemicals are unnecessary.

" In 2020, the non-profit organization Beyond Pesticides sued TruGreen over its claim to offer "environmentally friendly, sustainable lawn care services that use no chemicals that may cause cancer, allergic reactions, or other health or environmental harms"—statements that Beyond Pesticides asserts are false and deceptive. TruGreen uses glyphosate, classified as probably carcinogenic by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, as well as a weedkiller with a label warning of "irreversible eye damage" and "allergic reactions," and a neurotoxic insecticide, according to Beyond Pesticides.

I’m fine with it. We’ve used it before at another home, and it worked well. That’s why we are using it again. It gave us a nice lawn

I mean, especially since this is your second home, I'd identify an alternative. If she seems rather delicate, it's probably the chronic illness.

It's not just the right thing to do because we live in a society, but it's potentially advantageous to you to develop a decent relationship with your neighbor for a house you are not always there to keep an eye on. It will incentivize her to call 911 if your house catches fire, for example.

Just to point out, this is my lawn. Neighbor has no reason to step on it.

I switched from TruGreen to another company b/c I don't like their practice. Much happier.

You should consider switching both for the environment and for neighborly peace.

Delicate was a euphemism for potentially difficult about many things, but yes, I am sensitive to her medical issues and obviously I am considering this issue bc I do want a decent relationship with a neighbor. But at the same time, I do feel like there is an element of alarmism. And also, she is not the best neighbor herself - leaves crap on her front lawn like it’s a junk yard.

She has no right what happens on your property

unless you have a well you share - it's not impacting her at all. She must spend an awful lot of time on your lawn while you are gone.

Yes, of course but neighborly peace is important too
