The setting around Dieren and what it means
Every place has its own reason for rodent activity, and in Dieren it starts outside the house. Railway embankments, motorway verges and the green strips along major roads are unbroken corridors. They are never fully cleared, they are quiet, and they run for kilometres, which makes them the fastest way for a population to move through an area and reach back gardens.
We follow the route backwards in Dieren, from the room where you noticed it to the point outside where it begins. Alongside that, the post-war housing blocks plays a part in what we find here. Around Dieren we consistently see the same few factors at work, and they are the ones we check first.
Dieren falls under the municipality of Rheden in Gelderland, a large village of roughly 14,000 people. We cover it on the same schedule as the surrounding places, including Spankeren, Ellecom and Laag-Soeren, so an extra visit rarely takes long to arrange.
Local points of attention in Dieren
An inspection in Dieren runs a fixed route past the situations that occur here. In concrete terms:
- the railway embankment or motorway verge alongside the area
- green strips that run uninterrupted for kilometres
- the point where those verges meet the back gardens
- crawl spaces running on under several homes
The signs we see most often in Dieren
Pets notice it before people do. A cat staring at a skirting board for minutes on end, a dog that keeps sniffing at the same cupboard door, a rabbit that becomes restless in its hutch: those signals often come weeks before the first visible trace. The behaviour of the rodents themselves also changes as numbers grow, and you hear that in how much noise there is.
Look at the height at which you find gnawing damage too. Damage just above the floor or on the bottom of a cupboard belongs to mice. Damage half a metre up or higher, on a pipe or a beam, means something is climbing, and then you are more likely dealing with a rat or a marten.
Where the noise is coming from
- Above a suspended ceiling: usually mice between the battens
- From the cavity wall or behind panelling: mice using the facade
- Under the floor, with a dull thud: more likely a rat than a mouse
- In the roof, with material being dragged: nest building in insulation
- At the eaves, in daylight only: probably birds or squirrels
What you know about the price in advance
What a quote from us does not contain matters as much as what it does. There is no call-out charge, no evening or weekend surcharge for a normal appointment, no administration fee and no compulsory follow-up contract. What you agree is what you pay, and it fits on one page.
The inspection and the quote are free and without obligation. A single treatment starts from 95 euros, and control including sealing the entry points is quoted per property, because the number of openings varies so much.
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

The whole building envelope: foundation, facade, thresholds, vents, roof edge and penetrations.
- 2

First the openings that are demonstrably in use, then the ones that pose a risk.
- 3
Carry out
Steel mesh, mortar, replacement vents and brush profile, neatly finished and rodent-proof.
- 4
Hand over
Photographs of the points dealt with and advice on the maintenance you can do yourself.
A treatment does not stop at the last catch. The last animals are always the most cautious, which is exactly why people who do it themselves clear up too early. We therefore keep the monitoring points in place for at least a week after activity has stopped, and only remove the material once it has been quiet for several days in a row.
Material we place, we also remove. At the final check all traps, stations and markers go back with us, unless you deliberately choose a permanent preventive set-up. Nothing is left behind in your crawl space or shed that nobody looks at again.
Keeping house and garden in order
New build is not automatically rodent-free, and that surprises many people. A newly delivered house has tight brickwork and well-fitting frames, but the pipe penetrations in the crawl space and the connections at the meter cupboard are regularly left unfinished. In a three-year-old house we sometimes find an opening you can put a hand through.
Do not seal an opening with expanding foam or tape. A rat gets through both in a single night. Use steel mesh, mortar or a metal grille, and make sure the material is fixed on all sides.
Waste and bins
- A lid that truly closes, even when the bin is full
- The bin clear of fences and shrubs, so it is not reachable under cover
- Bags out on the morning of collection day, not the evening before
- In a shared storage room: one clear agreement with all residents
Rats and mice in Dieren: common questions
- For a regular appointment in Dieren we usually plan within one or two working days. For emergencies we aim for the same day; our technicians work in Rheden and the surrounding area.
- Yes. Dieren falls within our service area in Gelderland, along with the rest of Rheden and the neighbouring places. There is no call-out charge for it.
- 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.
