ARSD 44:02:06:08. Vermin control

Bed and breakfast establishments must be constructed, equipped, and maintained to prevent the entrance, harborage, or breeding of flies, roaches, rats, mice, and all other insects and vermin. Specific means necessary for the elimination of such pests, such as cleaning, renovation, or fumigation, must be used. The department may require the facility to hire a professional exterminator to exterminate pests under the following conditions: (1) The infestation is so extensive that it is unlikely a nonprofessional can eradicate the pests effectively; (2) The chosen method of extermination can only be carried out by a licensed professional exterminator; or (3) The department finds evidence that an infestation is still present and the establishment has not taken proper steps to eliminate the vermin problem. Regularly scheduled professional extermination services shall be required following the determination of an excessive pest infestation by the department.
