minorCode 590.006/6-501.111-CPests

Official wording

Controlling Pests (C)

Inspector’s notes

PIC stated that a mouse came through the front door and the mouse has been captured. Evidence of the capture was observed. PIC put a work order in for the pest company to come out. Please send over a copy of the pest report after the pest inspection. If there is activity/catches on the report we recommend more frequent visits. The pest report needs to be free of activity and catches. PIC did provide the last pest inspection 1/18/26 and it was free and clear of activity and catches. No evidence of droppings today.

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.
