Controlling Pests (Pf)

Evidence of rodent activity with what appears to be rat droppings behind booths in dining area and next to speaker behind booth. Droppings on landing next of outdoor patio. Clean and disinfect all affected areas. Provide update IPM pest control report upon reinspection. ISD Environmental Asst. Commissioner Ulrich recommends mass trapping on overnights to knock down population. Will conduct one additional Co2 treatment of burrows on adjacent property near patio.

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.
