This. You may be able to get them with this.

I think OP has a point- I always perk up if I see a pest control van in front of a neighbors house. It makes me think they have bedbugs or raccoons.

Book a day off of work. Watch for the van to move and then go park your car there.

Saying what? How dare you make an honest living and drive this vehicle?

It's unrestricted street parking.

We already switched our car parking places so that the person who is home most of the day has one of the two street spots in front of our house, the person who gets home latest (me) gets the driveway. But that leaves our cousin living with us high and dry. She usually gets home after the Pest Control person. She's forced to park in front of someone else's house and she feels terrible about it.

You really aren't getting the whole public street thing. There is no reason for her to feel terrible about parking in front of a house. That's crazy.

Be peeved if you want, but the owner of the van is acting within the law, so take a stress tab and worry about something else.

+1 as long as she parks neatly and doesn’t take two spaces, this is the way it goes.

People may be wondering if you have a recurring bed bug issue at your house.

Fragility seems to run in your family.

Park in the middle so someone else can’t park there. Then, when the cousin is almost home, she can call and you can move up so she can park there, too.

Yes, it’s public parking, but people should have first choice on the street right in front of their own house. It’s common courtesy in most neighborhoods.

It’s an eyesore. It’s a gigantic ad for pest control that I have to see right outside my baby’s nursery every day.

UGH.

I don’t think you understand the meaning of that word.

That or you are a troll.

Another post from someone who feels as if they own the public road.

I am so tired of people complaining how seeing a certain car parked in front of their house irritates them.

If it irritates enough to vent online, then they should seriously consider moving into an apartment or condo.

Also, this is the bottom of the barrel for people’s problems.
Be grateful that you have your own home, a healthy child and you are not in hospice....dying of cancer.
It could always be much worse.

Try changing your perspective in life-
You will feel much better!

That doesn’t stop it.

Our complex of apartments and townhouses doesn’t have assigned parking. Most people tend to park in the same spot everyday, but a few neighbors compete for a couple spots they perceive as better somehow. There are hard feelings if someone feels a favored spot is being monopolized.
