§3391.9. Entry of premises; inspections
A. The commissioner or his authorized agents, upon reasonable notice and during reasonable hours with consent of the owner, renter, or the lessee if the property is under lease, may enter any dwelling, building, structure, premises, or any other property within the state when circumstances would lead a reasonable man to suspect that Formosan termites may be present in order to inspect for Formosan termite infestation, and to carry out suppression or control activities, including but not limited to treatment with pesticides, sampling, monitoring, and destruction of Formosan termites or regulated articles, as may be necessary to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Part.
B. In the event that the owner, renter, or the lessee, if the property is under lease, does not consent to the entry to any dwelling, building, structure, premises, or any other property within the state for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Part or any other activities authorized by this Part, the commissioner or his duly authorized agent may apply to the court of proper jurisdiction and venue where the entry is to occur for an order or orders authorizing the right of entry to any such property for the purposes of carrying out the provisions or purposes of this Part or any other activities authorized by this Part. Notwithstanding any provision of law giving precedence to any other matter, any motion by the commissioner for authority to enter any property made pursuant to this Subsection shall take precedence over all matters except pending motions for the right of entry under this Subsection and shall be taken up by the court at the earliest possible time.
