Violations Cited
590.006/6-501.111-PF
Controlling Pests (Pf)
PIC stated that pest control inspects three times a week. Multiple traps and glue boards in location. I did not see any activity at this time. Traps are in back storage areas and retail under shelves. It was suggested that all shelves and carts bee pulled off the wall so pest control can get into the back.
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.
