What changes in Chilliwack
Four property checks for Chilliwack
Track the line back to its likely origin before changing several things at once.
Repeated sightings near wet areas should trigger a plumbing, condensation and drainage check.
Repeated traffic into one opening can indicate a nest; casual feeding activity alone does not establish that.
Start at the perimeter and attached spaces, then work inward toward the room where signs were found.
Match the plan to the building
Keep the inspection proportional to the evidence. A condo may require coordination around common pathways; a detached house calls for a fuller exterior exclusion check.
Start with evidence, not a product. Note the room or exterior edge, timing and visible signs, then use that record to guide the next inspection step.
Where a pesticide is part of the plan, keep the decision specific: one registered Canadian product, one identified pest and one label-approved treatment area. The label guide covers the official check.
British Columbia and Chilliwack: rule check
For household pest work, separate the federal product question from the local-use question. The Canadian label sets the approved use; British Columbia and the municipality may impose additional limits.
