The Benton County Public Works Department will begin its annual roadside shoulder-spraying program to control vegetation along county roads in late March (weather permitting). Spraying of noxious weeds and roadside vegetation is done throughout the year.

Residents who don’t want roadside spraying to control weeds along their property must fill out a Vegetation Control Permit and a Vegetation Control Liability Release form with the county each year. Agreements must be received by March 1, 2023. Once the agreement is signed, residents will be given "No Spray" signs that must be posted on their property correctly by March 15, 2023. Only the areas posted with county provided signs and completed agreements will be left out of the roadside spray program. You may also notify us by phone if you no longer wish to participate in the program.

In addition, if you are interested in a modified spray program, for example: spraying for noxious weeds but not roadside grasses) please give us a call.

For information or applications, please call us at 541-766-6821 or visit our "No Spray" web page.
