Cheyenne property owners must keep premises free of conditions that harbor rats and mice under the city health and sanitation chapter, with CLCHD able to order abatement when infestations spread or persist.
Cheyenne Title 8 (Health and Sanitation) treats rodent harborage as a public nuisance. Owners must store garbage in tight containers, clear brush piles, eliminate standing food sources, and seal exterior gaps that allow entry. CLCHD inspectors respond to complaints and can issue notices ordering removal of conditions that attract or shelter rodents. Multifamily landlords carry parallel duties under WY landlord-tenant habitability principles. Cheyenne does not run a free citywide poisoning program; abatement is the property owner's responsibility, though CLCHD provides guidance and may coordinate on serious neighborhood infestations.
Notices to abate are followed by reinspection; failure to remove harborage can result in nuisance citations and city-arranged cleanup billed back to the property owner.
