ACTION
Store all wiping cloth in a bucket of bleach sanitizer (1 Tbsp of bleach to 4L of water) when not in use. Change the bleach sanitizer solution every 2-3 hours with fresh solution.
Peel off the plastic protective cover on the exterior surfaces of the dishwasher to expose the stainless steel walls.
Water dripping and pooling on the floor, under the upright display drink cooler. Find the source of the dripping water and repair the problem, to stop the dripping and eliminate a water source for mice and cockroaches.
Block all holes in walls by installing metal sheets to the openings, or installing wire mesh (1/4" or smaller), or tightly stuffing holes with steel wool and then sealing with expanding foam.
Have the exhaust canopy and filters professionally cleaned and serviced ASAP.
Do not keep cardboard in the premises as cockroaches like to live in the corrugated cardboard.
Store extra and/or unused items in large plastic bins with tight fitting lids to eliminate harboring areas for pests, OR discard/remove any extra or unused items from the premises. |
