| Get a no parking permit for no parking for a week for two weeks front of your house. Then if the park there the van can be legally towed. Plant some trees there so it looks like you actually have a reason for restricting the parking there. Or you could try to get it zoned for handicap... |

Ticket him for what exactly? Parking on a public street? Ok, snowflake. |

| Park a boat trailer there. Buy one for cheap and then sell it after the guy has been parking somewhere else for awhile. |

| Hire some gangsters to steal the tires and put em on bricks. Then, get some graffiti kids to spray “Eastside Warriors” on the side. Lastly, take pictures and post them on DCUM so we can comment on the work. |

Depends on the county. |

| If the van parks in a different spot every day then it will be apparent to everyone that the ENTIRE BLOCK IS INFESTED! |

Here’s a link to the MoCo Parking FAQs. Actually there is one about commercial vehicles. https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/goodneighbors/faqs.html |

In some towns there are regulations prohibiting certain types of business vehicles from being parked in certain places. OP, contact your town/county and find out if work vehicles are prihibited from parking in certain places and/or for certain numbers of days in a row.
Friends were starting a business and had the van (big logo on the sides) parked on their own property (driveway at side of the house and pretty well screened from the road and neighbors) but a neighbor called the city and friends got notice from the city that they couldn't keep the van even on their own property. They were told they had to find another place to keep it and they promptly did so. I can only guess that if a city can say you can't have a business vehicle ON your property, then a city might also say a person can't park some types of business vehicle on the public road indefinitely. Worth checking. There will surely be different rules in different places since another town near us lets trucks and vans with business logos etc. stay on the streets all the time. Before someone posts nastily about our friends--the plan always was to keep the van elsewhere but they had it at their home temporarily while still setting it up inside. They of course moved it right away. Also you could call the company that owns the pest control van, if the neighbor is only an employee but not the owner of the company or the van. We had a contractor's huge pickup in front of our house for a week (day and night!) and when I called out town parking enforcement they said it would have to be there for a much longer time before they could consider it abandoned. I tried calling the company but the number was dead. It did disappear after a week. |

| OP, get over yourself! This post is nuts. You are neurotic-- really. No one think your house has pests for a week. No one thinks it takes a week to get rid of pests. And, as shallow and uptight as you are, no one thinks you would be having an affair with the pest control guy. Just be glad you have neighbors who work and aren't out on the street drinking or fighting or holding loud parties. Do not go to war with your neighbors about their work van parked on the street. People can get mad and retaliate. Just let it go and really, get some counseling. Your anxiety level is over the top. |

It would annoy the piss out of me, too. I can't think of any other vehicle that would annoy me by parking in front of my house. Maybe a big motorhome that never moved. I remember when I was looking for our last home and I checked the google street view for a home we liked. It had a pest control vehicle in the driveway and though that's common to utiiize the service it turned me off.
I think your only option is to park your cars out there. |
