All food establishments and facilities (restaurants, delis, cafeterias, bars, grocery stores, meat and seafood markets, wholesale and retail warehouses, mobile carts and trucks etc.) must be maintained and operated so as to prevent the entrance and harborage of vermin. Vermin includes mice, rats, flies, cockroaches and other food-infesting insects. This is state and local health and safety law throughout the U.S. and in most countries, believe it or not. It's the lack of government enforcement and or business practices that is the problem.
Contrary to what you may have heard, there is no acceptable or allowable number or amount of vermin in a food facility. Vermin are strictly illegal in all areas of the establishment, which includes the kitchen, food or equipment storage rooms, restrooms, employee locker and break rooms, customer service and seating areas, trash storage areas and exterior premises. They're illegal not because they are unsightly, but mainly because they are known carriers of numerous dangerous, disease causing microorganisms that can be transmitted to your food, the food contact surfaces etc. potentially causing a serious food poisoning. They also contaminate the food with their hair, fecal droppings, urine, saliva, body parts and general filth. Need I say more?
Vermin in a food facility is a very serious problem and a public health danger, and should be immediately reported to your local Environmental Health Food Inspection Program. A heavy infestation of cockroaches or rodents will sometimes give the establishment a recognizable musty odor. If you detect this odor or any out of the ordinary odor, be wary about patronizing this establishment. A restaurant and any food facility should always smell clean and of fresh food. Anything else could mean something is wrong.
I can not count the number of individuals, including restaurant and market managers and employees, I've come across over the years that believe cockroaches, rats, mice etc. are in every restaurant and food facility, and are as much a part of the establishment as the customers. These people also believe that you can never completely eliminate vermin once they've established themselves. Both of these statements are of course, false.
All types of food facilities, even the newest, nicest, most expensive, elegant restaurant can become infested with vermin. It is fairly common because a restaurant especially, is an ideal environment for cockroaches, rats, mice, flies etc. to thrive. But with good sanitation practices and thorough rodent and insect proofing, extermination and insecticide treatment, one can readily eliminate and prevent infestations. I've not only seen it happen first hand, but as a government inspector ordered food facilities to eliminate a vermin problem countless times.
If a food establishment or facility cannot fully eliminate the vermin, the inspector is duty-bound to either suspend their permit and order them closed and or take legal action and have the local district or city attorney file a criminal misdemeanor complaint against the business and its owner(s). A permit may be suspended immediately, depending on the severity of the infestation. Some jurisdictions may also issue immediate fines or penalties in the form of a ticket or citation.
In many older buildings vermin can be more difficult, but again, certainly not impossible to eliminate. The main reason for this is that there are many more hiding spaces in older buildings that are not easily accessible for cleaning, extermination, etc. There may also be other non-food businesses adjacent to, or in the same building that are doing little or nothing to help eliminate the vermin within their space. Insects, such as cockroaches, can find other things to eat when food or wastes are not available.
So what are the possible solutions to these problems? Here are a few answers:
--A good inspector and or a pest control operator will assist the business in finding those hiding areas that are not so easily accessible and have the business either do what is necessary to make those spaces accessible or have them completely sealed off.
--A good inspector will investigate adjacent food and non-food businesses and issue orders to eliminate the vermin from their space as well, and have the two or more businesses coordinate pest extermination on the same day (vermin are illegal in non-food businesses as well).
--The inspector should point out all the possible ways the vermin can gain entry into the establishment and issue corrective orders to vermin-proof those areas.
When it comes to vermin proofing, newer food facilities have a better likelihood of preventing harborages. Newer facilities must go through a detailed plan-check process prior to opening, where all areas must be designed to prevent and discourage vermin harborage. All ceiling, wall and floor surfaces in certain areas of the facility must meet strict standards.
To learn if your favorite eating and shopping locals have cockroaches, rats, mice, flies or other vermin problems, or any serious health and safety violations, look them up on your local Environmental Health Food Inspection Program's web site, or contact them directly by email of phone to ask how they publish inspection results. You can even request a copy of the facilities latest inspection report. All this information is public record.

Weirdly, some squirrel monkeys in a Japanese zoo have started riding these Capybara (giant rodents).
With Mother’s Day behind us some of us went to sleep feeling appreciated and understood and some of us went to sleep wondering what attracted us to the caveman we married and produced children with in the first place. Women generally shop based on what they would like to receive and tend to be thoughtful and personal in choosing gifts.
Although men can be romantic and thoughtful there is a good chance that at some point in your married life you will receive an appliance as a gift. When you receive the said appliance and give your husband “the look” he will immediately tell you he meant nothing by it and thought he was buying you something you would like.
With Father’s Day right around the corner, if you did not receive jewelry, an expensive luxury item, a gift you requested, or at least personal bath items, and a lovely meal then we may have just the training tool you need. Men often mean well but after wandering through the mall for hours clueless, they often give up and opt for the gift certificate, flowers, or appliance. Cheer up girls it doesn’t happen out of apathy but necessity. Here is the ticket to make it stop.
Men seem to love gadgets and tools that enhance their ability to show off their masculinity. They tend to shy away from gadgets and gizmos that “do the work for them” or somehow seem less manly. Here is a gift that serves a purpose and renders the screaming for your husband obsolete. The Mouse Mover Ultrasonic Rodent Deterent.
The high pitched sounds are heard only by rodents and therefore they stay as far aways as possible. The rodent deterrent also offers:
Plug-in electronic device emits safe ultrasonic sound waves that drive away mice and rats — silently!
Clean and odorless — no noxious poisons, messy traps or dangerous chemicals.
Two built-in speakers emit ever-changing frequencies that rodents cannot get used to — so they leave!
The 95dB of ultrasound is blasted in opposite directions across a broad 27-44KHz range.
The “pet friendly” setting won’t bother non-rodent animals such as dogs, cats and birds.
It also works great at repelling bats or squirrels.
Hangs on a wall or stands upright.
Plugs into any standard outlet with included AC adapter.
Men are the hardest people to buy gifts for. Most gifts for men can get predictable and boring. Check out more great gifts ideas for men at www.themensgiftguide.com
