Services must address rats, mice, roaches, ants (excluding carpenter ants), silverfish, spiders, fleas, crickets, wasps, earwigs, and other occasional pests through both interior and exterior monthly treatments. The vendor must respond to callback requests within eight hours at no charge, as the park operates 24 hours daily with guests on-site.

The initial contract term runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
