Controlling Pests (Pf)

Previously provided pest reports stated "Mice activity under ice machine". What appears to be numerous mice droppings observed under ice cream machine (photos taken) upon today's re inspection. Provide updated IPM pest control report upon reinspection. Clean and sanitize all affected areas.

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.
