Safeway closed in Kings Beach due to rodent infestation

KINGS BEACH, Calif. – The Safeway in Kings Beach is currently closed due to a rodent infestation. Placer County Human and Health Services closed the store on Monday after a site evaluation prompted by multiple complaints of rodent infestation at the facility. According to the county’s report, the inspection found evidence of rodent activity, including droppings in the backroom storage and breakroom. The inspector also found gnaw marks on food wrappers in backroom storage. The report also reveals that multiple rats were sighted around the storage areas during the inspection, running under the pallets and throughout the facility. The store, located at 7815 N Lake Blvd, must complete multiple tasks and pass re-inspection before reopening. Those tasks include having pest control inspect and remediate infested areas, discarding any potentially contaminated items, cleaning and sanitizing storage areas, and sealing to prevent further problems.
