Paterson vetos the $600,000 bed bug bill

Posted on August 12, 2010 with No Comments

Last month it was reported that state officials composed a bill that would aid New York with $600,000 to help control the bed bug infestations.  The bill made if from the legislation, to the senate, to the assembly, but not through Governor Paterson.  On July 19th the governor received the pending bill and on July 30th he would make his decision.  Unfortunately he did not pass the bill due to the high financial support that is required to uphold the bill.  New Yorkers can only hope for another type of bill to pass to help them fight the bed bug epidemic!  If you have a bed bug problem, JP McHale can help.

NYC’s restaurants graded for the second time

Posted on August 9, 2010 with No Comments

Yesterday the NY Post published an article about the second round grades for New York City’s top restaurants.  Last week, 24,000 of New York City’s finest restaurants were graded on a new scale to judge the cleanliness of the dining area.  If a restaurant gets a low grade, they have two more inspections to improve or else their grade will be open to the public.  The second inspections were conducted this past week.  The final inspections will be conducted in the following week and then that’s it. Restaurants will be required to show the grade they are given right at the front door or window for the public to see.  The following violations will earn restaurants points:

-          Keeping cold foods at a temperature higher than 41 degrees

-          Evidence of pests or rodents

-          Employees not wearing hair nets

-          Eggs are cracks

-          Food is left uncovered

-          Not vermin-proof

-          Plumbing issues

-          Light bulbs not shielding

These are just of the few violations that can make restaurants earn a C.  The article lists some of the finest restaurants in the city that are struggling to make the cut.  If you are struggling with a pest or rodent problem in your home or business, JP McHale can help.  We are the leading pest control company in New York that will solve your pest problems!
