Each licensed pest control business shall be inspected at least once in the business's first year of receiving a license and at least every four (4) years thereafter. School districts will be inspected at least once every five (5) years. The department may waive these requirements due to department staff availability, budgetary constraints, inspection trends, or operational efficiencies. Businesses and school districts demonstrating a lack of compliance with department rules may be inspected more frequently than every four (4) years for businesses and every five (5) years for school districts based on risk using the following elements of consideration:
  (1) prior violations;
  (2) prior inspection results; and
  (3) prior complaints
