minorCode 3200Pests

Official wording

Insects, rodents, animals not present; entrance controlled

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.
