Controlling Pests (C)

At the time of the re-inspection (5/28/2024) pest control had been on site the previous Thursday/Friday but no report was left for the Health Department to review. There was still evidence of rodent activity noted during the re-inspection. Pest contorl is to provide updated reports and to leave either paper/electronic copies for the Health Department to review.

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.
