What is considered harborage of vermin?

Harborage for vermin is any accumulation of materials that will provide nesting material or areas where vermin can comfortably make a home or harborage. Piles of wood, rocks, lumber, boxes, barrels, bricks or similar materials are common places for harborage. Those materials must be stacked evenly 18 inches off the ground on open racks.
