Controlling Pests (Pf)
Inspector’s Notes
Observed mice droppings on the floor under the front counter on the floor behind the flour bins and observed droppings in the ceiling tiles. Clean to remove all mice droppings. Have the exterminator inspect the drop ceiling. Please consult with a licensed pest control/extermination company and obtain a detailed report confirming that there are no pest captures no signs of activity and no sanitation concerns. All identified or potential entry points and structural voids must be properly treated and sealed prior to the next inspection. Pest control service frequency should be increased as needed until the issue has been fully resolved and verified.
In Plain English
The inspector found mice, rats, cockroaches, flies, or evidence of them (like droppings) inside the business, or conditions that could attract them. Pests can spread bacteria to food and surfaces, so this is treated as one of the more serious findings.
