305 - Conditions observed that may allow entrance/harbouring/breeding of pests [s. 26(b),(c)]
Observation: 1) Found holes and openings in walls, corners, around pipes and electrical outlets. Rodents can access the kitchen areas through these holes.
2) General sanitation level of the premises is poor. This is attracting and encouraging rodents to the premises.
3) Mice catch-all-traps are being use, when rats are the problem. The mice traps are too small for rats.
Corrective Action(s): 1) Block all holes and openings with wire mesh (1/4" of smaller), metal plates, or tightly pack steel wool in the holes/openings and then fill with expanding foam.
2) Scrub and clean the premises from floor to ceiling to remove all food, grease, dirt, dust, and rodent droppings.
