SOLICITATION

On Saturday, May 13, there was a pest control solicitor knocking on doors in our neighborhood. This man from that pest control company knocked on one of our homeowners door that day. The homeowner told him he was not interested, and told him that he is supposed to have a permit to solicit in here and the pest control guy replied that he doesn't care. The homeowner then called the police, in which the police tracked him down and gave him a ticket and told him to leave. But for the the next week other people from that pest control company came back, starting to knock on doors again in here and other neighborhoods. So, if one comes knocking on your door, please follow these steps.   
Here in Villages at Grassy Creek Central, we have a "No Solicitation" neighborhood. I spoke with the City of Greenwood about this matter.  They said that yes we are a no solicitation neighborhood, but they can knock on doors if they get a permit from the city. When they do come around, you are to ask them to present their permit.  I assure you most do not have one.  If they do not have a permit, the city said to call the non-emergency police right away and the police will come and escort them off the property.  The phone number you would call is: 317.346.6336.
We as home owners have to start asking for their permit to help curb the solicitation in our neighborhood. Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.
