Mecklenburg County enforces pest control through the Minimum Housing Code and NC Department of Agriculture Structural Pest Control regulations. Property owners must eliminate rodent harborage, and commercial pest control applicators must be licensed under NCGS 106-65.24.
Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement responds to pest and rodent complaints under the County Minimum Housing Code. Property owners must keep structures rodent-proof and eliminate harborage including debris piles, overgrown vegetation, and standing water. Mecklenburg County Public Health manages mosquito control and responds to West Nile and EEE surveillance. Structural pest control (termites, bedbugs, roaches) is regulated by the NC Structural Pest Control Committee under NCGS 106-65.22 through 106-65.45. All commercial applicators must hold a NC Structural Pest Control license. Pesticide drift onto neighboring property can trigger NC Department of Agriculture Pesticide Section investigation.
Minimum Housing Code violations start with a notice and 30-day cure period. Continued violations: 100 dollars per day civil penalty plus mandatory abatement with lien attachment.
