House Mouse in Tsawwassen Heights.

Why house mouse pressure is specific to Tsawwassen Heights

Tsawwassen Heights mouse pressure is the lowest of our Tsawwassen sub-areas because most homes were built with modern envelope detailing — vapour barriers continuous through crawlspaces, factory vent caps, and garage door bottom seals that don't degrade as quickly as 1970s materials. That said, mice are excellent at finding the rare envelope failure, and townhouse complexes along 56 Street share utility chases that allow population spread once one unit is compromised. ALR-adjacent western blocks see autumn migration from Tsawwassen Lands farmland, and pet-food storage in attached garages remains the consistent attractant pattern across all sub-areas.
