Toronto Police say there are telltale signs of a grow house.

* Limited activity in and around the house.

* All windows are sealed.

* Lawns and surrounding property are ill-kept.

* No snow on the roof in winter due to hot temperatures on the inside of the house.

* Windows show interior condensation.

* Pungent smell from the exhaust fans is detectable.

Toronto Police Insp. Wayne Pye says residents who believe they know of a grow house location should call local police or Crime Stoppers.

The illegal houses not only deflate neighbour-hood housing prices, but also cause a trickle-down effect that leads to more crime, he said.
