Madison County’s health inspectors had their work cut out for them in April.

Last month, 20 establishments scored 84 or below on their health inspections, meaning they must be reinspected within 60 days.

For comparison, just four restaurants in Jefferson County met that threshold last month, although health officials there haven’t finished posting scores to the agency’s website.

Madison County’s data comes from a county health department official who sends weekly scores with details on specific infractions to the media.

Among the violations observed by Madison County health inspectors in April included live ants crawling in one establishment’s kitchen, another that had “black and pink buildup” inside an ice machine and a third restaurant with several dirty dishes.

Here are those 20 restaurants, from the highest scores to the lowest:
