305 - Conditions observed that may allow entrance/harbouring/breeding of pests [s. 26(b),(c)]
Observation: 1. Although some equipment/debris has been removed since the last inspection, some areas still have old equipment that may potentially provide harbourage areas for pests (e.g. equipment stored next to and below the oven). In addition, there is a buildup of debris on the floors in hard-to-reach areas (behind dishwasher, floor next to 1-door under counter cooler).
2. It was observed that some areas of the drywall have cutouts, providing a potential entry point for pests.
Corrective Action(s): 1. Ensure all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized to remove all debris/spills (this includes floors and hard-to-reach areas). Remove remaining equipment that is not required for business use. Storage of equipment that is not required for business use may (1) provide potential harbourage areas for pests, and (2) make it difficult to detect signs of pest activity. Date to be corrected by: December 2, 2022.
2. Eliminate all potential entry points for pests. Ensure potential entry points are properly sealed or screened to limit potential entry. Date to be corrected by: December 2, 2022.
