disinfested

Freed from vermin

Disinfested means cleared of pests or vermin.

A disinfested warehouse has had its rodents or insects eliminated.

The word applies to spaces, objects, or organisms that previously harbored unwanted creatures: The grain shipment was disinfested before export.

Compare with disinfected, which refers to eliminating microorganisms rather than visible pests.
