Insects Rodents Animals

Two to three drain flies were observed around the three-basin sink area. Approximately 20 were observed within the U Berry area (red corner to the rear left of register). The establishment should continue to work with their pest control company to mitigate the issue. No open trash free-standing water or spills should be permitted overnight.

Why This Matters

DISEASE VECTORS: Mice produce 50-75 droppings daily containing Salmonella, Hantavirus. Cockroaches carry 33 types of bacteria, 6 parasitic worms. Flies regurgitate and defecate on food, spreading E. coli, Shigella. One mouse can contaminate 10 times more food than it eats. Pest allergens trigger asthma in 26% of inner-city children.
