Inspect the garbage handling areas of the vessel at least weekly for the presence of insects, rodents, and other pests. Maintain the results of these inspections in a log. Remove dead or trapped insects, rodents, and other pests from control devices and the vessel at a frequency that prevents their accumulation or decomposition or the attraction of other pests.
*Inspections scores of 85 or lower are NOT satisfactory
