Controlling Pests (Pf)

As discussed evidence of rodent droppings in basement. Please clean along the wall make all areas open and available for pest control to come in and put traps and to check for holes. 4-25-25 PIC will need to provide an up to date pest control inspection. PIC has done a lot and filled holes. Please have them come out and check it out and provide report.

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.
