Controlling Pests (Pf)
PIC has pest control coming twice a month. I did find a small amount of droppings on the floor in basement and in back prep area. PIC will need to clean more often and inform pest control what he is finding. I did see a few traps that have been set off. Please check the traps between inspections. 7-17-25 PIC will need to continue to monitor traps and have pest control inspect. Last report did show two catches. We will need to see a clean report to be able to pass this inspection.
Why This Matters

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.
