Which statement best describes written notification when advance notice cannot be provided?

• A. Written notification is optional and not required
• B. If advance notice cannot be provided, a written notice must be left at the residence of the adjoining resident
• C. A written notice must be mailed to all neighbors
• D. Written notification is required only for commercial sites

Answer: (B)

If you can’t provide advance notice, the rule requires you to leave a written notice at the adjoining resident’s residence. This ensures the neighbor closest to the application area receives timely information about pesticide activities and can take appropriate precautions. It also creates a tangible, verifiable record of notice. This approach is more direct and practical than mailing notices to everyone nearby, and it applies to residential-adjacent situations—not just to commercial sites.
