Property owners must eliminate rodent and insect infestations under Sandy property maintenance code, with coordination through Salt Lake County Health Department for public health nuisances.
Sandy Municipal Code requires property owners to keep premises free of vermin, rodents, and insect infestations that create public health hazards. The Salt Lake County Health Department enforces mosquito abatement (West Nile virus monitoring) and responds to complaints about rats, cockroaches, and bedbugs in rental properties. Wasatch Front homes commonly deal with voles, deer mice (hantavirus risk), and box elder bugs. Pesticide applications must follow Utah Department of Agriculture rules.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
