Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective pest control program in the CD Unit pantry, as required by its own policy. During an observation, numerous small flying insects were seen on the walls, around the sink, garbage can, and at the base of the floor where a section of baseboard was coming off. An LPN confirmed the persistent presence of these insects in the pantry and noted that the problem worsens when food is left on the counters. The facility was unable to provide any evidence of prior pest control treatment for the CD pantry.
