5) Pest Control
- Orkin last conducted inspection on February 19, 2018
- No rodent activity observed in last report; mechanical traps, exterior baits, and glue boards employed as part of IPM program
- No visible signs of recent pest activity at time of inspection
Recommendations:
- Place seared (half-cooked) meats in a separate area from fully cooked meats
- Run the quats dispenser for approximately 15 seconds at the beginning of the day before filling up the sanitizing pails. Residual liquid in the dispenser often does not contain the required 200 ppm quats |
