“Pest control have been in but the mice keep coming back”

Unnamed former employee

Speaking to Plymouth Live, the ex-employee – who wished to remain anonymous – said: “There is a pest problem going on that they can’t sort out.

“Pest control have been in but the mice keep coming back.”

The unidentified worker added: “One morning I opened up the restaurant at 6am and I could see a mouse looking back at me through the window from inside.

“They are breaking procedure by opening when they know mice are around.

“Pest control is meant to be called in straight away and the restaurant shouldn’t open again until it has been cleared.

“[If] mice get into the flour [then] there is a high chance of contamination.

“I also saw them around the coffee machine and coffee cups which was worrying.”

It is not the first time this particular KFC outlet has been plagued with rodent-related issues.

It was reported that back in February, a customer was forced to complain after seeing a mouse running across the floor.

The unnamed customer said: “You can see rat traps by the bins and s*** in the toilets. I have seen the droppings.”

A reporter from Plymouth Live confirmed seeing at least 12 rat traps located around the outside of the restaurant during a visit to investigate the claims.

Despite the ongoing rat problem that appears to be plaguing the Plymouth branch, it was given a five-star food hygiene rating by the Food Standards Agency when the outlet was last inspected in 2017.

KFC has been contacted for comment.
