Controlling Pests (Pf)
At this time a complaint was put in for a dead mouse found by a customer in the chip aisle. PIC was aware of the complaint and address the issue right away. Pest control does come each week and has been moved up to three days a week. I looked under the shelves and they are clean. PIC will be sure to inform the pest control company of the findings. Please email me the pest reports going forward until re-inspection.
