Text: 24 Jensen does not have standing to sue under the statutory provisions she cites in her complaints. The California statute requiring a pest control company to notice the owner and tenant of the premises on which work is to be done does not apply to Jensen as an employee of the owner and tenant of the premises. See Cal.Bus. & Prof.Code Sec. 8538. The duties of an employer stipulated by California's Occupational Safety & Health law do not apply to employers who are governmental entities. Cal.Lab.Code Sec. 6434. Federal and state pest control regulations do not give Jensen a right to sue. See 7 U.S.C. Secs. 136-136y (Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency has authority to enforce federal pesticide control regulations); Cal.Food & Agric.Code Sec. 11501.5 (director and commissioner of each county have authority to enforce regulations of pest control operations); California Health and Safety Code Sec. 25249.7(d) (individual may sue in public interest only after she has given notice to Attorney General and district attorney and they do not prosecute said violation).
