ORLANDO, Fla. – Last week, 12 more eateries across Central Florida were forced to close after a visit from a health inspector, according to state records.
These records show that the reported eateries experienced violations like pests, storage violations and more.

A few of these locations had far more notable violations than others, though.
For example, a Mexican restaurant in Orlando reportedly suffered from ants that were “too numerous to count,” and over 100 rodent droppings were discovered at a restaurant in Kissimmee.
However, most of the closed restaurants were eventually allowed to reopen after meeting inspection standards.
