Controlling Pests (Pf)

Contact licensed exterminator and provide a detailed IPM report inspect 1078 and 1076 both basements both main floors bathrooms exterior and both drop ceilings and empty apartment and the 2 holes that are in the ground near the trash. Provide 2 extermination reports prior to the next inspection. Recommend having more frequent visits before the next inspection to ensure reports state no catches and no evidence of droppings.

Why This Matters

SEVERE CONTAMINATION: Rodent droppings carry 35+ diseases including Hantavirus (36% mortality rate), Salmonella (20% of cases from rodents), Leptospirosis (kidney/liver failure). Mice contaminate 10 times more food than they eat through urine and droppings.

Code Requirements

IMMEDIATE ACTION: Clean/sanitize all affected areas with 10% bleach solution. Discard ALL exposed food. Seal holes over 1/4 inch (mice) or 1/2 inch (rats). Remove food sources. Install bait stations. Professional extermination within 24 hours.
