Products must carry a Pest Control Products (PCP) number on the label, which Health Canada says shows approval, so ask to see the number for each product.
| Local source | What it says | What to do with it |
|---|---|---|
| Section 5.1(b) | Every yard must be kept clean and free from rodents, vermin, insect pests and other pests and from any condition that may encourage their infestation or harbouring. | The owner carries the duty, so owners and landlords should keep records of each visit. |
| York Region Public Health | York Region publishes food premises inspection reports through YorkSafe, so residents can look up the most recent routine and complaint inspections of restaurants. | Businesses can look up their own record before and after a treatment. |
| Landlord and Tenant Board | The Landlord and Tenant Board says a landlord must take steps to control pests such as cockroaches and mice and meet the standards set out in municipal by-laws. | Tenants and landlords should keep the pest company's visit records. |
| When | What was reported | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Ongoing | YorkSafe lists the results of public health inspections of restaurants and other food premises over the past two years, so you can check a premises' record. | York Region: YorkSafe inspection results |

Maple is part of Vaughan, so these are Vaughan figures. 63% of homes in Vaughan are detached, 19% are apartments and 14% of households rent, so the right company asks what kind of building you live in before it recommends a treatment, because the plan for a detached home is not the plan for a shared building.
