⚠ MAJOR 590.006/6-501.111-PF

Controlling Pests (Pf)

Evidence of mice droppings on the floor located in the right hand corner of the store along the windowsill inside the chip cardboard boxes on the dog food shelving evidence of open dog food bags. Spoke to the owner Alan on the phone and he stated he would email over the most recent extermination report. Asked the PIC if they had a basement he stated that they did but the coffin cooler was ontop of the hatch door leading to the basement. At the re inspection I will need access to the basement. All evidence of rodent droppings need to be removed and the floors need to be sanitized and cleaned. Contact a licensed exterminator and provide a detail IPM 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.
