Controlling Pests (Pf)

At this time found droppings under soda cabinets in dinning room under hot holding line by grill and a few along garage doors in dinning room. Pest control is inspecting each week. Between inspections someone will need to be checking all traps to remove and replace if full. It would not hurt to have pest control address this issue more than one time a week for a while to get on top of the problem. General cleaning of areas should be done more often to see if you have any more activity. 12-15-22 Trash room and electrical room by loading dock will need to be clean of old droppings. PIC is aware and will have it cleaned today and will monitor it each day.

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.

Floors Walls and Ceilings-Cleanability (C)

PIC will need to address general cleaning of the floor under and behind storage cabinets and cooking equipment. Under soda cabinets found old droppings that will need to be cleaned up each day. Floor in dinning room should be cleaned more often of any food droppings for students. 12-15-22 At this time areas under cabinets have been cleaned. The trash room and electrical room will need to be addressed. I spoke with PIC and maintenance manager of this building. He is replace all door sweeps and has pest control inspecting every other day.

Why This Matters

Poor facility maintenance can harbor pests and prevent proper cleaning

Code Requirements

Smooth, non-porous surfaces; Properly sloped to drains; No gaps or cracks; Maintained clean
