Sacramento County Code Chapter 6.36 and CA Health and Safety Code sections 2270-2910 empower the county Environmental Management Department and the Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District (SYMVCD) to abate rodent, mosquito, and vermin infestations. Property owners must maintain premises free of conditions that attract or harbor pests including standing water, accumulated debris, uncut weeds, and open food sources. The SYMVCD conducts free inspections for mosquito breeding sources and can enter properties to treat or abate. Structural fumigation (termite tenting) must be performed by Branch 1 operators licensed by the CA Structural Pest Control Board; 48-hour notice to neighbors within a specified radius is required. Rodenticides of second-generation anticoagulants (SGARs) are restricted statewide under AB 1788. Bed bug treatment disclosure is required in rental units per Civil Code 1954.603.
