Ask her what she was spraying. Maybe it was organic. Probably not, I am horror stricken everytime I walk into any garden center in my area at the array of chemicals, even the smell of the places creep me out. But it might put your mind at ease. Just be really nice and offer some alternatives for her. Homemade alternatives are usually appealing to people because they are cheap, if not for the health benefits, kwim?
Yes, I would make an informative poster if I lived in a neighborhood such as yours. You guys are close enough that one pesticide is everyone's pesticide. I find most people open to learning about organic methods, I hope it's the same for your neighbors. Give them the bad info but offer them some alternatives, if nothing else some book recommendations, but you could also make up a separate tip sheet with some of the easiest, better known organic principles and solutions.
Good Luck, I understand your fear. Luckily for us, our abutting neighbor that does anything to their yard are longtime organic gardeners. However, I have a nearby airport that drops lots of lovely stuff into our air, I am sure
