INSECTS, RODENTS, & ANIMALS NOT PRESENT

Inspector’s notes

OBSERVED BOTH FRONT AND REAR DOORS WIDE OPEN DURING INSPECTION. INSTRUCTED TO KEEP ALL OUTER DOOR CLOSED TO PREVENT ENTRY POINTS FOR PESTS.

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.
