I have no problem with this. I get advance notification, I close the pet door and keep my pet indoors for at least 3 hours after spraying (although they tell me only one hour is advised). I've been doing this for 5 years and I have no problem with it nor have I had any ill effects in my dog. My gate is always locked so NO ONE is getting access to my courtyard without my permission.

I understand your concern. So....the property that is located in your neighbor's courtyard is actually YOUR property? I don't quite understand this logic of the design of the Courtyard Villas. Can anyone shed some light on this? I have a feeling my friend doesn't know about this "quirk" of the Courtyard Villas.

The link in Post #8 shows where property lines are in a CYV neighborhood and who has responsibility for different areas. I posted it to HELP people understand. I can't click on it for you! It was part of my DUE DILIGENCE before buying. Due diligence..... look it up!

One thing to be aware of is that, if your next door neighbor is a snowbird, you should occasionally check to make sure their sprinklers, located directly under your eaves, are not broken. I have seen two cases where a neighbor's house was flooded by water spraying under the eaves and entering the house.

[QUOTE=kingtutt20;1711898]The only chemical that they would need to spray is for termites and that would done right up against the neighbors house. /QUOTE]
A pesticide is also sprayed around the outside of the house, on the ground and lower part of the wall, to prevent ants and other insects from entering the house. This is usually done quarterly. |

I have asked around with the FL locals and with TV residents who have been here for years......no one has ever seen any termites......fire ants, yes, but termites, no. Block/stucco homes and villas only have wood from rafters up, not on ground floor. Home Depot has bags of diatomaceous earth that slices any exoskeleton of an insect that crawls across the powder and then they die from dehydration. Some farmer locals just pour used car/tractor oil close up/around the exterior of the foundations of their barns to keep any possible termites away, but even none of them that I spoken with have had termites. Anyone else actually have real info other than what is marketed to us at TV from those who want to repeatedly sell you a product?

We've been in a CYV 9 years this coming July. Three times our neighbor has asked for us to open the gate so the exterminator can spray. Usually they're ejecting a spray into the ground for terminates and that is all. We've asked our other neighbor one time for access so that Oscar could paint that side of our home. It's not a big deal usually. |

Allowing a Pest Control Company to access your villa for the neighbors spray
I have just done the same thing and I have a small older dog. It is the right thing to do and the neighborly thing to do. In my case, I talked with the pest company, Florida Pest, and was told the chemicals are safe to both humans and pets. Keep your dog indoors for the day they are spraying just to play it safe and for your own peace of mind. Pest & termite control is a necessity in FL, so you do need to allow access.
