Rayizah Caribbean Cuisine in Fort Pierce had six dead roaches in kitchen floor along with live roaches and rodent droppings too. 

Debra's Place in North Palm Beach had live roaches, plus toxic chemicals stored in the wrong areas.

All of the restaurants have reopened after passing a follow-up inspection.
