Who can request prior notification regarding pesticide applications?

The ability to request prior notification regarding pesticide applications is generally extended to neighbors who are next door. This is primarily based on the premise that those living in close proximity to pesticide application sites are most likely to be affected by the application, whether it's in terms of health concerns, property safety, or general environmental impact.

Local regulations typically stipulate that residents living adjacent to a property where pesticides will be applied should be informed beforehand. This ensures that they can take necessary precautions and have awareness of potential risks or exposure timeframes.

While nearby residents in a broader sense may feel affected, the focus of prior notification centers on direct neighbors, as they are at the highest risk for exposure and are generally most impacted by the application. The other options suggested either limit the ability to request notification to a very specific group or exclude potentially affected parties who might also need to be informed.
