Hayward property owners must maintain premises free of rodents, insects, and vectors under the property maintenance code. Alameda County Vector Control assists with mosquito and rodent abatement complaints.
Pest control in Hayward is enforced under the Hayward Municipal Code Chapter 7 regarding property maintenance and public nuisances. Owners must keep buildings and yards free of rodent harborage, cockroach infestations, bee swarms, and mosquito-breeding standing water.

Structural fumigation and pesticide application must be performed by a California Department of Pesticide Regulation licensed operator, and advance notification to neighbors is required for tenting.
