Controlling Pests (Pf)

Mice droppings on the floor in the back area near the warewashing area and soda syrup storage. Provide updated IPM pest control report upon reinspection. Follow recommendations of the IPM report dated 8/26/21 to eliminate clutter around three compartment sink and ensure items are stored 6" off the floor. Clean and disinfect all affected areas.

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.
