I review pest control reports. Please be sure that staff is reading reports and making the corrections noted on the reports. reports should repairs going back a month or two. Also found some droppings in the retail area by the small bagged nuts and cookies. Please address this with pest control.

PIC will need to have the repairs done that are noted on the report and cleaning of dry food and open food packages on retail shelves.
