ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 Last week, over a dozen more eateries across Central Florida were forced to close after a visit from a health inspector<\/a>, according to state records.<\/p>\n

These records show that the reported eateries experienced violations like roaches, hygiene issues, storage violations and more.<\/p>\n

That said, a prominent theme observed last week was multitudes of rodent droppings seen at several of these locations. At one Chinese restaurant, for example, over 300 droppings were discovered, records show. <\/p>\n
