📞 Get a Free Quote — 905-925-8427Hiring the best pest control in Holland Landing starts with proof: Ontario licences, approved products used per the label, a clear method and a written warranty. Read it alongside East Gwillimbury's Property Standards By-law 2018-083, which is the local standard a company should work to.
Every pesticide a company uses must show a PCP number on its label, and Health Canada says that number means the product is approved. Ask to see it.
| Local source | What it says | What to ask the company |
|---|---|---|
| Section 5.2 | A dwelling must be kept free of rodents and insects and from conditions that may encourage infestation by them. | Ask how the company's plan meets this duty and what it writes down at each visit. |
| Exterior walls | Openings in exterior walls, other than doors and windows, must be effectively protected by suitable materials to prevent entry of rodents, vermin and insects. | Ask how openings, vents and weep holes get covered: breathable mesh, fitted from the outside. |
