Here is a list of a few places that were closed down for the day (or more) wholly or partially on rodent presence.

Asian Grill, 7462 Royal Palm Blvd., Margate — The next worse thing to seeing the mice or rats nibbling at your food is seeing their poop near where you keep the food. This was reopened July 5th.
