304 - Premises not free of pests [s. 26(a)]
Observation:
Found mice droppings along the base of walls, under platforms and on lower shelving units. Dead mice found in the metal tin traps. This is a clear indication that there is a large mice infestation.
Corrective Action(s):
Eliminate the mice infestation by:
1) Increase the frequency at which the professional pest control company monitors and services the premises. Trapped mice shall be removed daily by the pest control company.
2) Seal all openings in walls, floors and ceilings around pipes, wires, and duct vents with metal mesh (openings 1/4" or smaller) or metal covers. Remove the aluminum ducting tape, as this will NOT stop or prevent mice entry and it is not durable to withstand daily cleaning and abuse.
3) Install floor drain covers to all floor drains. Ensure the openings are not bigger than 1/4" Replace any damaged or missing floor drain covers.
4) Firmly stuff all small openings or cracks with steel wool and then seal with expanding foam.
5) Follow and complete all recommendations made by the professional pest technicians in their reports and/or in their discussions with you.
6) An inspection of the full facility (interior and exterior) should occur by the pest company, to determine other entry points and harboring areas. Treatment to all active mice infestation areas shall occur.
7) Forward a copy of the pest control reports to our office for review until the mice infestation is eliminated. (lynda.quan@fraserhealth.ca).
