Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 64E-12.006 - Vector and Vermin Control
(1) Effective
control measures shall be utilized to minimize the presence of rodents, flies,
cockroaches and other vectors and vermin on the premises. The primary means of
pest control shall be the use of integrated pest management (IPM) systems and
tools. IPM tools, such as "Integrated Pest Management for Schools: How-to
Manual, " dated May 2, 2006, which are recognized by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency, are approved practices for the control of
pests throughout a residential facility. The manual is available at
http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/ipm/schoolipm/index.html
or by writing for a free copy to EPA Pesticides Section, U.S. EPA Region 9, 75
Hawthorne Street (CMD-5), San Francisco, CA 94105. Use of IPM systems and tools
does not restrict the use of licensed pest control companies or
individuals.
(2) The creation,
maintenance or causing of any condition capable of propagating vectors and
vermin will not be permitted. All building shall be effectively maintained
rodent-proofed and rodent free. All outside openings shall be effectively
sealed or screened with 16 mesh screening or equivalent, to prevent entry of
insects, rodents, or other vectors and vermin, except in wilderness programs
when mosquito netting is provided to each resident.
