Controlling Pests (Pf)
Observed rodent-like droppings at the corner edge of the store under storage shelves. Provide an IPM report from a licensed exterminator. The IPM report from Advanced Pest Control point out to the front door swiper being damaged and trash containers inside without lids. Follow up with proper compliance.
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.
