Controlling Pests (Pf)

Evidence of rodent droppings in the back corner of the store under the papergoods shelving and in the corner on the floor in the back next to the 2 door reach in. The pest reports are current recommendations have been made on the reports. These need to be addressed. If the pest company has not inspected the basement or the ceiling this is recommended to help with the rodent problem. Please contact the licensed exterminator and provide a detailed IPM report at the next inspection.

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.
