304 - Premises not free of pests [s. 26(a)]
Observation: Significant fruit fly infestation persists. Observed adult fruit flies on a multitude of surfaces and in abundance under counters and around beverage dispensing units. Observed a multitude of breeding habitat (as identified by pest control operator) throughout the bar area. Kitchen area not reviewed as it appears the bar area is the primary breeding ground for the fruit flies.
Corrective Action(s): Implement cleaning procedures as highlighted by Pest Control Operator (PCO). Implement remediation to bar area as highlighted by PCO items noted in the public comments section of this report. Follow schedules identified in PCO report/proposal and in this report to reduce adult fly population, fly breeding habitat and bar design deficiencies which could contribute to present or future breeding potential for fruit flies. Discard any product that becomes contaminated by fruit flies.
Violation Score: 15

Follow Up to "Critical" Violations Noted on Previous Inspections (if applicable): No corrections entered
Comments

Met with PCO, maintenance lead and management to discuss fruit fly issue. Systematic approach to control of adult population, elimination of breeding habitat and isolation of breeding environments either currently underway or at proposal stage of implementation. Noted areas requiring corrective action as follows:
- Bar sink (handsink) closest to kitchen - Completely dismantle, clean up, seal all exposed wood, and properly reseal sink basin to counter top;
- Remove beverage drain lines and completely clean them. Isolate the drain and drain lines from fly access as discussed;
- Improve sanitation procedures in and around key beverage dispensers as discussed. **Keeping the bar clean and free of beverage spills key to the corrective action in place;
- Glasswasher A and surrounding area (beside and below) needs a complete clean up and improved maintenance. Several additional wastewater sources feed into drip tray below. Pipe convergence onto drip tray a priority area of concern. Proper clean up and actions to reduce breeding potential as recommended by PCO should be followed.
- Beverage dispensing sink/ice basin drain and area is a significant breeding/harbourage environment. Clean up and isolation as discussed is a key corrective action. Long-term control will come to cleaning.
- Many access points (plumbing, electrical and other) are providing harbourage points for flies. These may or may not be contributing to the problem. Given the severity of the infestation complete isolation of holes and access points needs to be a priority.
- Areas in bar that can't effectively be cleaned, must be foamed (as directed by PCO) to reduce breeding environments, and done so on a frequency that will break the cycle. Recommend weekly PCO action until the breeding cycle is broken. This may last more than 1 month, but it is recommended PCO plays lead on defining timelines of correction.
** Tackle each station one by one, but include cleaning and remediation together as the breeding environments are exposed and eliminated.
**Flies are breeding in the beverage residue, sludge and dark moist areas of bar, including drain lines/pipes. THESE MUST BE REDUCED.
**During the remediation process identify specific items on closing bar checklist that require set cleaning procedures i.e. wipe - spray (with sanitizer) - wipe again (or something like that). Discussed.
