Controlling Pests (Pf)
Today I found a few areas on the retail floor with rodent droppings and product with holes in the bag. PIc stated that pest control inspects 3 days a week. I review reports and multiple catches have been noted. Candy at front counter pet food and most of the bags of chips. PIC will need to do a deep cleaning and in for pest control of your findings. Please email the last three reports and the next few. Reports of larger rodents in the back room (rats). Pest control has rat traps and the outdoor black box inside the back room. Pest control was here today and traps not set and no bait on traps.
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
