At time of inspection found multiple rodent droppings along the walls in the back room. PIC will need to do a deep cleaning and fill holes along the wall. PIC will need to have pest control come back out and do an inspection before re-inspection date.
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.
