In order to control noxious weeds, brushing and targeted species; the County of Stettler maintains a roadside spraying program along roadside ditches.
All weeds on the restricted and noxious lists are important to take care of and our staff is available to assist staff with control options.
Our roadside spraying program begins in June, annually. The herbicides used are determined by weather, targeted weeds and surrounding vegetation. In some cases, other mechanical controls such as, handpicking may be used.
The County of Stettler begin the annual roadside spraying between May and October. This program sprays undesirable vegetation within the County rights-of-way, in order to control the spread of weeds, prevent large trees and brush from impacting the road’s integrity.
If you do not want the rights-of-way adjacent to your property sprayed, contact the Department of Agricultural Services to fill out a No Spray Form.
