Used to live across the street from a neighbor who got his yard cleaned up by a crew with a gas blower twice weekly. They were already banned in that town, but it was never enforced. The noise would wake me up and the fumes—like standing next to a 1960s Mustang with a cold engine—would drift into our apartment and linger for 15-20 minutes. Gas blowers are gross and their time passed a while ago.

- mike_d 6y agoAlmost every city has a noise ordnance that prevents this. Just call the PD and file a noise complaint every time it happens.
- koheripbal 6y agoTwice weekly seems excessive, but I only ever see them in the peak of fall when the leaves are falling. I blow my yard maybe 4-5 times all year combined. ...but I see them much more frequently in Florida. I suppose frequency of blowing is very biome dependent.
