State Sanitary Code 105 CMR 410 requires landlords to maintain pest-free dwellings. Pesticide use is licensed under MGL c.132B and 333 CMR.
Residential pest control in Middlesex County is primarily governed by the State Sanitary Code, 105 CMR 410, which requires property owners to keep dwellings free of insects, rodents, and other pests. In buildings with two or more units, the owner is generally responsible for extermination. Local boards of health and city inspectional services enforce the code; Boston-area communities have active rodent action plans. Pesticide applicators must be licensed or certified by the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources under MGL c.132B and regulations at 333 CMR 10.00 and 11.00. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is required in schools and public housing.
