According to the licensee, children use the back yard for outdoor play. LPA observed that the backyard is completely fenced, has adequate shade, and age-appropriate play equipment. Licensee has a washer and dryer in the children’s outdoor area; however, it was observed to be safe and detergents were inaccessible. There was an open shelve cabinet on the corner of the outdoor play area and at the bottom of the shelve LPA observed a tightly closed bag of ant insecticide. There was a plastic playhouse that was partially obstructing the access to the shelve cabinet and licensee moved the playhouse for LPA to view the shelve. Once the playhouse was moved, LPA reviewed the contents on the shelve and confirmed that one of the items was a bag of ant insecticide. LPA discussed with the licensee that the bag of ant insecticide had to be removed and made inaccessible. Licensee immediately removed the bag and understands that storage areas for poisons must be locked with a key or combination lock. LPA provided a technical violation.
