Sioux Falls treats bed bug infestations as a habitability issue under the city Housing Code, with landlords generally responsible for licensed pest treatment in rental units.
Chapter 70 of the Sioux Falls Code requires rental units to be free of insect infestation when leased and to be maintained in habitable condition. Bed bug infestation triggers a duty to investigate and treat using a licensed pest control operator under SD Department of Agriculture rules. Tenants must cooperate with preparation, including laundering and access for treatment. Disputes over responsibility are common when infestation source cannot be determined and may be referred to small claims court. The Sioux Falls Health Department provides guidance but does not perform extermination.
Refusing to treat a confirmed bed bug infestation in a rental unit, or a tenant refusing to cooperate with treatment preparation, can trigger habitability findings and lease consequences.
