The landlord shall give written notice to the tenant no less than 48 hours prior to his application of an insecticide or pesticide in the tenant's dwelling unit unless the tenant agrees to a shorter notification period.

B. In addition, the landlord shall post notice of all insecticide or pesticide applications in areas of the premises other than the dwelling units. Such notice shall consist of conspicuous signs placed in or upon such premises where the insecticide or pesticide will be applied at least 48 hours prior to the application.
C. A violation by the tenant of this section may be remedied by the landlord in accordance with § 55-248.32 or by notice given by the landlord requiring the tenant to remedy under § 55-248.31, as applicable.
