The rodent infestation at Angel Stadium has been cleared, and the concession area that was closed last week over the vile matter has now reopened in time for the Angels’ key series with the Mets.
Orange County Public Health Services officials wrote in a reinspection report, obtained by The California Post on Friday, that on Wednesday, no vermin activity was seen after the facility had been “cleaned and sanitized.”
“All observed gaps were sealed,” inspectors added in the report. They also noted they received pest control receipts from the concession stand’s managers.
The area — View Level 432 — was deemed safe for fans to visit once more. However, county officials are slated to return on May 6 “to verify continued rodent abatement,” the reinspection report stated.
The concession area was initially shut down on April 22, after a routine inspection revealed “rodent droppings” in five different locations — including on the floor underneath storage racks and near janitorial supplies.
Additionally, inspectors alleged they found “a hole greater than 1/4 inch on the ceiling” that they determined vermin could access.
The Angels said in a statement to The Post on April 27 they were taking the issue seriously and were working tirelessly to get the situation under control in time for Friday’s home matchup with New York.
“After receiving guidance from the health department,” the team said, “we acted promptly with our concession partner to resolve the issue at the single stand and expect it to pass inspection and reopen in time for the upcoming homestand.”
The Angels kick off their three-game series with the Mets at 6:38 p.m. PT.
