INSECTS, RODENTS, & ANIMALS NOT PRESENT

Inspector’s notes

OBSERVED OUTDOOR WOODSHED WITHOUT DOOR. NOTED SCRAP WOOD AND MATERIALS ON THE FLOORS AND APPROXIMATELY 15 LARGE RODENT DROPPINGS IN NORTHWEST CORNER OR SHED. INSTRUCTED TO INSTALL SHELVES TO ELEVATE MATERIALS FROM GROUND. REMOVE, CLEAN AND SANITIZE AREAS WHERE RODENT DROPPINGS ARE SITED AND INSTALL A DOOR WITH A TIGHT-FITTING SEAL TO PREVENT PEST ENTRY AND HARBORAGE.

In plain English

The inspector found mice, rats, cockroaches, flies, or evidence of them (like droppings) inside the business, or conditions that could attract them. Pests can spread bacteria to food and surfaces, so this is treated as one of the more serious findings.
