How to draft a "no pets" policy?

Hi I am a first time property owner looking for tenants.

I am writing up my own lease / rules and wanted to know how to state no pets is allowed, and it's penalty and consequences.

I read a few posts on the forums from experienced property owners, and they said the pets will probably be sneaked in anyway.

Do you include a non-refundable deposit clause stating that it is immediately due when a pet is discovered or when it was evident upon moving out? 

I understand this will screen out a majority of tenants due to no pets.. but I would like to try the no-pets to start with.

Thanks
