The surroundings of Angeren as a starting point
Angeren is not a random place to have a rodent problem: what happens here follows directly from the landscape and the buildings around it. Nursery ground and orchards give cover across large, continuous areas. Container fields, windbreaks and stacked crates provide shelter at ground level, and that cover often runs right up to the first row of houses.
Alongside that, the river and its banks plays a part in what we find here. For Angeren the rule is simple: remove the food, close the opening, and the treatment holds.
Angeren falls under the municipality of Lingewaard in Gelderland, a village of roughly 3,000 people. We cover it on the same schedule as the surrounding places, including Huissen, Haalderen and Gendt, so an extra visit rarely takes long to arrange.
Our starting points for an inspection in Angeren
An inspection in Angeren follows the places that matter most locally. Given the glasshouses and orchards, these are at the top of the list:
- greenhouses that stay warm through the winter
- cold stores and packing sheds with stored crop
- orchards and container fields up to the built-up edge
- the river bank and floodplain within walking distance
Price structure and conditions
We do not work with subscriptions. In this industry an annual contract with four inspection visits is common, and for a restaurant or a food business that makes sense. For a private home it rarely does: once the openings are closed and the food sources are gone, there is nothing left to inspect every quarter.
Acting quickly is therefore cheaper than waiting, even when the problem looks small. The inspection costs you nothing, a single treatment starts at 95 euros and a full programme with proofing is quoted in advance.
Why proofing is quoted per property
- New build: often three openings, all at pipe penetrations
- Nineteen-seventies housing: vents, thresholds and hatch usually need work
- Pre-war: up to fifteen points, with masonry work as well
- A fixed price would mean one customer paying for another

Seal
The entry routes found are closed, so the emergency does not repeat itself.
Rats and mice need a different approach, which is exactly why a standard package rarely works. Mice live in small groups close to their food, are curious and will approach a trap quickly. Rats are wary, avoid new objects for days and range over a much larger area, often shared with neighbours and public green space.
The openings we find are photographed, sealed with material that cannot be gnawed through, and shown to you. We do not use expanding foam or tape; a rat gets through both in a single night.
The signs we find in homes in Angeren
Most people never see the animal itself. Rodents are active at dusk and at night and avoid open ground, so you notice the traces first and the animal much later. Seeing a rat crossing the garden in daylight usually means a well-established group: the quiet spots are taken and the younger animals are pushed out into the open.
This is why we never start an inspection at the front door. We walk around the property first, because that is where the traces are that tell you how long it has been going on and along which route the animals approach the house.
How an untreated problem develops
- Week 1: occasional noise, loose droppings, hardly any damage
- Weeks 2 to 4: fixed routes, grease marks, more droppings
- After a month: nests, gnawing damage and activity in several rooms
- Animals visible in daylight: the population is large and spreading
Prevention indoors and outdoors
Ivy and dense climbing plants against the facade are not the problem in themselves, but they hide and provide access to everything that is. A rat climbs well and uses a green wall as a ladder to the roof edge, and behind the leaves you can no longer see a broken vent or an open joint.
In practice it works like this: feed what is eaten in a day, use a feeder that does not tip over and take leftovers out in the evening. Put the hutch on legs, at least twenty centimetres off the ground, and store the feed in metal bins.
New build needs checking too
- Check the finish of pipe penetrations in the crawl space
- Check the connection at the meter cupboard and the gas pipe
- Do this before the garden and terrace are laid out
- Report defects within the builder's warranty period
Rats and mice in Angeren: common questions
- For an urgent problem in Angeren we are often there the same day, and otherwise within 24 hours. We work in Lingewaard and the surrounding villages daily, so the lines are short.
- Certainly. Besides Angeren itself we work on the farms and in the rural parts of Lingewaard. There, sheds, storage and verges often matter more than the house itself.
- About six millimetres, so a gap a pencil fits through. A rat needs two centimetres. That is why we search at knee height and below along the entire facade.
- If the nest is in public green space, a park or a ditch, control is the municipality's responsibility. We can still seal your own property and supply a report to support your report to the council.
- They can, mainly through droppings and urine in places where food is stored or prepared. Wear gloves when clearing up, clean wet rather than sweeping, and ventilate the room well.
