Improper Maintenance of Walls/Ceilings
There is a gap between rear left door beside the reach-in units and the floor. The door should be equipped with a full door frame or a guard to prevent rodent access from the exterior. The gaps between the flooring and baseboard in the following areas have to be sealed; to the right of the left rear door in the right rear corner of the dish room and to the right of the Pepsi dispenser within the dining/self service area. Mouse dropping were observed beside each gap suggesting that these are points of access within the kitchen. There is a gap between the walk-in door and the the door frame. This gap should be sealed to prevent rodent access to the interior of the walk-in refrigerator. No foods were observed on the floor of the walk-in. The foods stored within the walk-in do not appear to have been contaminated by the mice. Droppings were observed along the interior wall of the walk-in. Any additional gaps observed / identified by Braman the exterminator should be properly filled to further restrict rodent access to the kitchen/dining level of the building.
