Rat and mouse control in Den Haag
Treating without proofing is emptying a bath with the tap running. That is why sealing the entry points in Den Haag is part of the standard job.

The situation in Den Haag
The reports we get from Den Haag follow a recognisable pattern, and that pattern comes from the setting. Catering produces a predictable daily cycle: waste out in the evening, activity overnight, complaints from the flats above the following week. The bins are usually in an enclosed courtyard, which is sheltered and out of sight.
The practical consequence for Den Haag is that the outside of the building matters as much as the inside. Alongside that, the open heath plays a part in what we find here.
Den Haag falls under the municipality of Den Haag in Zuid-Holland. We cover it on the same schedule as the surrounding places, including Rijswijk, Leidschendam-Voorburg and Wassenaar, so an extra visit rarely takes long to arrange.
What we look at first in Den Haag
What we check in Den Haag follows from the surroundings. These are the points where we most often find something:
- bins and containers in inner courtyards
- food waste put out in the evening
- cellars and storage beneath catering premises
- the open heath and drifting sand at the edge of the settlement
The signs we find in homes in Den Haag
Rats and mice leave different traces, and that difference decides what the treatment looks like. A mouse usually stays within a few metres of its nest, while a rat covers tens of metres in a single night. Knowing which one you are dealing with therefore tells you straight away how large the area is that has to be treated.
Beyond the damage there is the hygiene side. Droppings and urine end up where food is stored, and a nest in the insulation produces a smell that will not go away while the nest is there. The sooner treatment starts, the less there is to repair afterwards.
Places where water is available
- A leaking or sweating pipe in the crawl space
- A blocked downpipe or a corner of the facade that is always wet
- A cracked drain connection under the ground floor
- Drinking bowls, pond edges and condensation on a cold outside wall
Prevention indoors and outdoors
Keeping chickens, rabbits or pigeons carries an extra risk by definition, and that is no reason to stop. The issue is not the animal but the feed: an open feeder, spilled grain under the hutch and bedding that is never fully replaced together form a permanent food supply that rodents find.
So treat the first traces as a report rather than a curiosity. Check the building envelope that same week, clear away the food sources and have someone look if you are not sure. The inspection costs nothing and at that stage almost always means the shortest treatment.
Annual crawl space check
- A hatch that closes on all sides without play
- Pipe penetrations to the ground floor sealed
- No loose insulation material or old building debris
- No open connection to the neighbours' crawl space
From your call to a solved problem
- 1
Place monitoring points
Measure first: non-toxic points on the suspected routes, without scaring the animals off.
- 2
Read them two days later
Which points have been touched? That fixes the actual route and the scale of the problem.
- 3
Set them properly
Only the active points are used, with the habituation already under way for wary rats.
- 4
Adjust
If a point stays empty while there is activity, we move it rather than add more.
Every job starts with a ten-minute conversation before anything is done. When did you first hear it, in which room, at what time of day, and has anything changed in or around the house? Those answers steer the inspection, because they usually already indicate roughly where the entry route is.
What we ask of you is limited but decisive: no food or scraps left outside while the treatment runs, pet food kept in a sealed container, and the traps left where they are. We go through those points at the first visit.
Price structure and conditions
A quote from us is three lines rather than three pages. What we found, what we are going to do and what that costs. That simplicity is deliberate: the longer a quote, the more places there are to add something later that you did not notice.
In practice that means: free inspection and quote, from 95 euros for a single treatment, and a price on request where proofing is included. There is a guarantee on the work carried out.
How payment works
- Looking and advising costs nothing and commits you to nothing
- Only after you accept the quote do we schedule the work
- Payment afterwards, by invoice, once the final check is done
- Extra work only after consultation and with a new price agreement

Rats and mice in Den Haag: common questions
- For a regular appointment in Den Haag we usually plan within one or two working days. For emergencies we aim for the same day; our technicians work in Den Haag and the surrounding area.
- Certainly. Besides Den Haag itself we work on the farms and in the rural parts of Den Haag. There, sheds, storage and verges often matter more than the house itself.
- Use a closed container rather than bags beside the bin, keep food scraps off the compost heap and pick up fallen fruit daily.
- Our focus is on private homes. We are happy to discuss small-scale business situations, so get in touch to hear what is possible.
- Not automatically. The last animals are always the most cautious. We only close a job once there has been no activity for several days and the entry points are sealed.
