'Since day one it’s been infestation after infestation,' a former employee claimed on Facebook.

A fast food restaurant in Florida’s Palm Bay has been closed down by the state's Department of Health after shocking images were uploaded to social media showing an infestation of bugs and rodents—allegedly including cockroaches, rats and maggots.

The full report was published online. It noted an official spotted “dead love bugs in tray where wrapped straws and sauces are stored at drive-thru and front service windows.” A sign on the restaurant door now reads: “This establishment is closed to protect public health and safety.” A Facebook search shows a Florida woman named JaiLynn Lawson uploaded a series of images, screenshots and videos allegedly showing the dire state of the restaurant this week. Lawson wrote she was speaking out to warn the public after spending four years as a manager.

“I promise it’s never safe no matter what they say. I'm an eyewitness and…was told I’m under contract with them and they will sue me if I let any of this out. I’m terminated now, so the contract is voided and the world shall now know. And whatever they choose to do I’m OK with cause nothing I am posting is a lie. It is a simple buyer beware! So BEWARE!” she wrote.
