Controlling Pests (Pf)
There is still mouse activity in the store. They are treating once a week with Terminix Commercial but they are going to increase to daily until the problem is under control. They are not storing any product on the bottom shelves and cleaning the droppings frequenlty with clorox. Continue to treat for rodents and try to block all entrances (they recently repaired the back door)
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.
