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.

What alternative?

Why are you using it? We have a nice lawn on a part of our property and never used chemical sprays.

Again, what alternative?

We use a corn based pre emergent— works fine.

It's tragic, really.

It kills all the bees.

You do realize that every public park, and many other public spaces use herbicides like this, right? As well as many of your neighbors etc. Dosage matters, people. This neighbor clearly has anxiety, but she’s not getting sick from a few trugreen treatments from her neighbors lawn

Yes, of course but neighborly peace is important too

All those chemicals are poisoning you and everyone around you. Your neighbor is not wrong. Lupus and other serious auto-immune diseases are on the rise. If you get sick with lupus or another deathly auto-immune disorder, or cancer, remember you were warned about their toxicity.

not really, there are different levels of culpability, the first is the company applying the approved licensed chemical on your property in the approved manner and the second is the manufacturer's product has been approved. The homeowner is not liable at all for this unless he or she is applying it themselves and off label.

This reminds me of what’s happened in the food service and consumer facing industries with cleaning and insect repellents. People went mad over toxicity so businesses are now very restricted on how they can clean and kill pests. So now people see infestations in places and freak out that they aren’t clean.

Yes, and the Romans never connected the impact of the lead-lined pipes they used.

No, every public park does not use Tru Green.

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

Sure the chemicals just stay on your lawn.
