Pest control in Wayne County is regulated under Michigan's Pesticide Control Act (Part 83 of MCL 324 and MCL 338.161). Commercial applicators must be licensed by MDARD.
Commercial pest control in Wayne County is regulated by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) under Part 83 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (MCL 324.8301 et seq.) and the Pesticide Applicators Licensing Act (MCL 338.161 et seq.). Any person applying pesticides for hire must hold a commercial applicator license with a category matching the type of work (structural, turf, ornamental, aquatic, etc.). Businesses must register with MDARD. Notification requirements apply to schools, childcare centers, and neighbors in some circumstances. Restricted-use pesticides require additional certification. Homeowners treating their own property are generally exempt from licensing but must follow label directions, which have the force of law under federal FIFRA. The Wayne County Environmental Health Division responds to rodent complaints and coordinates with local health departments, particularly the Detroit Health Department, which runs the Rodent Control Program at (313) 876-4000.
