JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville International Airport had a big problem with a little mouse this week.
According to an operations report, a rodent was seen running out of Starbucks and into the PGA restaurant at concourse C last Saturday. The restaurant was closed for 3 hours until an exterminator showed up.
Action News Jax reported in August about a rat problem at the airport.
The Blu Diner on Norwood Avenue in Jacksonville was also temporarily closed. Health inspectors said they found 23 rodent droppings under shelves and five dead rodents in traps. In addition, an inspector noted gaskets with slimy, mold-like build-up.
The Yafa Grill on st. Johns Bluff was cited for 15 violations including rodents and 10-15 ants on top of soda drink boxes. An inspector reported finding raw animal food stored over ready-to-eat food.
At Romas Italian Restaurant on Old St. Augustine Road, inspectors found food with mold-like growth and live small flying insects in the kitchen. The inspector reported potentially hazardous temperatures for lettuce, tomato and octopus.
