What customers said about weed control
Hersch's Lawn and Tree SprayWhen we signed up with your service to do our yard, you agreed that you would NOT spray the yard. No matter how many times we have reached out about this, not once has your company listened. My wife is very sensitive to the spray, and has been sick since the spring, partly due to this. We will NEVER use your service again.
