What makes a Dutch house different
If you have moved here recently, the first surprise is usually the crawl space: a shallow ventilated void under the ground floor through which all the pipework runs. In a terraced row it often continues under several houses without a separation, which is why a mouse problem next door becomes yours within weeks.
The second is the season. From late September, as soon as the nights turn cold, mice move indoors in large numbers across the whole country. It is not a sign that your house is dirty; it is the annual pattern, and it is the reason we recommend closing a building up in August.
The third is the rules. Rodenticides may only be used outdoors by a certified technician, and always inside a locked station. That is not red tape for its own sake: it is why most treatments in a home here use traps rather than poison.

Frequently asked questions
- Yes. Appointments, advice and the written inspection report can all be handled in English, which matters if you need to forward the report to a landlord or letting agency.
- Under Dutch rental law structural defects, such as a hole in the foundation or a broken air brick, are the landlord's responsibility. Report it in writing and ask for repair; our report with photographs is what they need in order to act.
- Most Dutch houses have a shallow ventilated void between the ground and the ground floor, reachable through a hatch. All the pipework runs through it and in a terraced row it often continues under several homes, which is why a problem rarely stays at one address.
- The inspection and quote are free. A single treatment starts from 95 euros, and treatment including sealing the entry points is quoted per property because the number of openings varies so much.
- For an urgent problem often the same day, and otherwise within 24 hours. 24/7 bereikbaar bij acute ratten- en muizenoverlast
