CRITICAL
NO INSECTS, RODENTS, BIRDS OR NONSERVICE ANIMALS
Why This Matters
Mice produce 50 droppings daily containing Salmonella and hantavirus. Cockroaches carry 33 bacteria types and 6 parasitic worms. Rats spread plague and leptospirosis.
What Was Observed
Observed mouse droppings in a few locations: on the floor downstairs behind/beneath the wire shelves with food containers and the closed boxes of almond & soy milk, on the floor downstairs beneath the wire shelf adjacent to the water heater, on the floor downstairs beneath the linen shelf to the left of the walk-in cooler, and on the floor behind the refrigerator/freezer in the dry storage room. Clean the droppings, sanitize the affected areas, and continue regular pest control at the facility.
