Markham has a housing mix that makes mouse problems show up in very different ways. In Unionville and Markham Village, older homes and heritage areas can have settled structures, crawl spaces, and aging gaps around foundations and trim. In Cornell, newer compact residential layouts create different entry opportunities around garages, service penetrations, and attached living spaces.
How older homes differ from newer ones
Older homes often give mice easier access through aging weather stripping, basement cracks, vent gaps, and utility entries. Newer homes are not immune. They may be tighter overall, but mice still exploit garage door corners, builder gaps, soffit lines, and plumbing penetrations.
Why the inspection has to match the structure
Mouse control in Markham should not rely on one generic assumption about the house. The inspection has to match the structure. What works for a heritage-area home is not always the same as what is needed in a newer subdivision townhouse or detached property.
