The closure of two San Jose Target stores due to rodent issues had customers wondering if these problems are becoming more common in the area or more difficult to control.
Health inspectors stopped food sales at the Target in Oakridge Mall Thursday after rodent droppings were found inside a dairy walk-in room.
The store was cleared to reopen the next day, but the grocery store at another Target store located on Capitol Avenue remains closed after inspectors found rodent droppings and chewed food packages in the store’s food storage area.
This had customers wondering if rat-related closures in the area are becoming more common. NBC Bay Area’s Investigative Reporter Hilda Gutierrez has been following the issue. Watch her full report in the video player above.
