The inspection visit this morning was driven by a customer complaint about insects. We had lengthy discussions with the person-in-charge about the issue. The facility was aware of the situation and has been taking pro-active steps to address the problem. They normally have monthly insect treatments, but during the last month the exterminator has been making weekly visits. During todays inspection no insects were seen. During the inspection advise was given to the person-in-charge on additional cleaning treatments that may help prevent situations like this in the future.

No violation noted during this evaluation.
