Under Rule 23, how much notice must neighbors receive before pesticides are applied to a treated property?

The requirement under Rule 23 stipulates that neighbors must receive notice 48 hours prior to the application of pesticides on a treated property. This notice period is designed to ensure that adjacent residents have adequate time to prepare for any potential impacts associated with the pesticide application, such as odors, health concerns, or other environmental factors.

This 48-hour notice allows for transparency and fosters communication between pesticide applicators and the surrounding community. It gives neighbors an opportunity to seek additional information if needed or to take precautionary measures to protect themselves, their children, and pets. This regulatory framework helps to promote responsible pesticide use while minimizing risks to human health and the environment.

In contrast, the other options such as 24 hours, 72 hours, or 1 week do not align with this specific requirement and do not provide the appropriate timeframe established for notifying neighbors about impending pesticide applications.
