The spray truck was spraying in my area last night, why did he miss my street?

There are a number of possibilities here:

  • Your street is in a zone which was not scheduled to be sprayed, but near enough to a zone which was scheduled for spraying
  • You may have heard one of our trucks with the spray engine running (but not actually spraying) driving to their assigned spray area.
  • The driver may have determined that your street could not have been safely sprayed. Possible reasons that could have caused this decision are:
    • too many people outdoors (both on the street and in their yards)
    • parked vehicles or other obstacles along the street or blocking the turnaround which would interfere with the ability of our driver to safely navigate the area
    Note: If the driver does determine that they could not safely spray an area, they are required to make a notation on their spray sheet as to the location and why they could not spray.
  • The driver may have inadvertently missed your street when it should have been sprayed. This does happen from time to time, and we do want to know when it happens so that it can be brought to the driver's attention.
