Completed a complaint investigation on 08/26/15 regarding the amount of flies in and around food products. During the investigation, at least a dozen flies were observed throughout the restaurant. No flies were observed in or on food products. Flies were observed to be flying around, on ceilings, and other surfaces. To control the number of flies present, the manager states they have installed an ecolab fly control system which was observed to be located in the back of the restaurant by the office. In addition, a fly strip was observed over the garbage can by the office and the manager states they put more up over non-food contact surfaces during the night. The fly strips are then removed in the morning. No air curtains are installed on either drive through window. The windows were observed to be closed when not in use during the investigation.

Recommend installing air curtains at any out openings where insects may enter. Should the amount of flies present in the restaurant persist or worsen, air curtains or another barrier may be required to ensure protection at out openings where insects may enter. No recheck is warranted at this time. Follow up will occur during next routine inspection.
No violation noted during this evaluation.
