What Vaughan's Property Standards By-law 231-2011 requires of owners
| Section or source | What it requires | What it means for mice |
|---|---|---|
| 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 yard duty covers the conditions that harbour pests. |
| Exterior openings | Openings in exterior walls not protected by a door or window must be screened with wire mesh, a metal grill or otherwise suitably protected to prevent the entry of vermin, rodents, insects or other pests. | Wire mesh over openings is the by-law's own answer, which matches covering vents and weep holes with breathable mesh. |

- Inspection. We check the foundation, penetrations, doors, roofline and interior for entry points and travel routes.
- Exterior sealing. Entry points are closed from the outside with steel wool or copper mesh locked in with sealant or foam, and hardware cloth for large gaps. We never seal interior gaps. Weep holes and vents get breathable mesh only (steel wool, copper mesh or excluder mesh), never sealant, foam or mortar, because the hollow wall needs them to release moisture and warm air.
- Interior trapping. We trap the mice inside, with tamper-resistant bait stations where bait is needed.
- Follow-up. We return to check traps and seals.
Products are Health Canada approved and applied according to the product label, and our technicians are licensed by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP). Our mouse work is backed by a 90-day warranty.

Older homes and shared walls in Kleinburg
Kleinburg is part of Vaughan, so these are Vaughan figures. 8% of homes in Vaughan were built before 1981 and 24% are semi-detached, row or other attached homes. Older foundations and shared walls and roof lines give mice more gaps to use, which is why the inspection covers the foundation, penetrations and roofline.

Mice travel along edges using their whiskers to feel walls and baseboards, and they rarely cross open space unless forced to. Set traps perpendicular to the wall with the baited end tight against it, not out in the open. Best Bait for a Mouse Trap in Ontario (It's Not Cheese)
Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has repeatedly tightened rules around rodenticide access. In 2010, the PMRA required additional protective measures for several rodenticides containing brodifacoum, bromadiolone, bromethalin, chlorophacinone, diphacinone, difethialone, warfarin and zinc phosphide, as part of an overall risk-reduction strategy.

Bromethalin, sold under names like Tomcat and Fastrac Blox, doesn't touch the blood-clotting system at all.
