Roadside weed spraying in the Counties SDG takes place in May and June of each year. Spraying occurs from the edge of the gravel shoulder to within one metre of the property limits and uses selective, Government of Canada-approved herbicides to control the growth of undesirable vegetation. The contractor performing the work is fully licensed. Spraying occurs in areas identified during regular weed audits.
No-Spray Signage:
If you do not want the right-of-way in front of your property to be treated:
- You must post “NO SPRAY” signs at the start and finish of your property.
- The “NO SPRAY” signs must be at least one foot by two feet and located three feet from the edge of the gravel shoulder. Signs must be one foot above any vegetation so that it is easy to see from the road.
Spraying will not occur if the ditch is mowed on a regular basis (maintained as a lawn). To ensure that spraying does not occur, we recommend you install a sign regardless of how the ditch is maintained.
