Rodenticide is a chemical that could contaminate food or food contact surfaces. Rodents will touch the chemical as they consume it and then spread the chemical as it walks on different surfaces. Patrons could become ill when they consume food that has come into contact with the chemical. Corrective Action(s): Immediately remove all bait boxes from inside the premises. Onlyl use mechanical means (snap traps, glueboards, catch-all-traps, or tin boxs) to eliminate the mice infestation. During the inspection, the bait boxes were removed. Violation Score: 15

Comments

A second follow-up inspection was completed, the following observations were made: - Rodent droppings had been cleaned up from the mentioned areas. Good. - Door sweeps have been installed on the two main, exterior, entry doors. Good. - Openings around the waste pipe entering the floor, behind the deep fryers, have been blocked with steel wool. ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN: Have morning/opening staff complete an inspection of the interior of the premises, to determine where new mice activity have been found (droppings, shredded materials, holes, etc). Clean up all droppings and sanitize the surfaces immediately. It is unsafe to cook or prepare food with mice droppings being present. Have staff record (in a binder) where they are seeing new/more mice activity (droppings, holes, shredded material). Have the pest company technician review the binder when they arrive, so they know where new or high mice activity is happening. Therefore, more attention can be placed in these areas for trapping. Have all pest reports available on-site for review, when requested by your EHO. Mice have gnawed an opening around the waste pipe of the back prep sink. Block and seal the hole with metal mesh (1/4" or smaller) or a metal sheet to prevent the entry of mice. Mice have accessed an open panel, beneath the hot holding unit (in the kitchen), and are using the insulation as nesting material. There is mice droppings and shredded insulation on the shelf. Clean up the mice droppings and sanitize the surfaces. Seal up the panel so mice can not enter it. There are droppings along the base of walls in the kitchen, the dishwashing area, the back prep areas, dry storage room and in the hot water/mop sink room. Clean up the droppings and sanitize the surfaces. Blocking and sealing of all openings and holes found on the exterior of the building (walls, roof, etc.) must be done to prevent entry. Remove all bait boxes inside the premises. This is very dangerous. All open boxes or bags of food in the dry storage room, must be placed in durable, food containers with tight fitting lids to prevent mice from contaminating the food. A follow-up will occur next week to ensure all actions have been completed and rodent activity has decreased.
