What it means
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.
How serious is it?
Each department labels its own findings. The severity shown on a restaurant’s record comes from the official inspection, and a past finding may have been corrected. Look for follow-up inspections.
