What is going on in Emmeloord
What we find in Emmeloord is shaped by its surroundings more than by anything inside the house. A concentration of bars, restaurants and shops means food waste on a small footprint, every single day. The bins usually stand in inner courtyards behind the facades, and that is where the reports from the surrounding streets and flats originate.
The practical consequence for Emmeloord is that the outside of the building matters as much as the inside. Alongside that, the ditches and watercourses plays a part in what we find here.
Emmeloord falls under the municipality of Noordoostpolder in Flevoland. We cover it on the same schedule as the surrounding places, including Marknesse, Ens and Nagele, so an extra visit rarely takes long to arrange.
What we look at first in Emmeloord
Every place has its own weak spots, and in Emmeloord a few come up again and again. With the bars and restaurants nearby, we start here:
- bins and containers in inner courtyards
- food waste put out in the evening
- cellars and storage beneath catering premises
- the network of ditches and drainage channels between the plots
Costs in perspective
The price covers more than the visit alone. It includes the inspection inside and out, the materials, placing and removing them, the follow-up check and the advice that prevents a repeat. Where proofing is included, the sealing materials and the labour are part of the agreed price as well.
The structure is always the same: inspection and advice cost nothing, a single treatment starts at 95 euros and a programme with proofing is calculated per property. You pay afterwards, by invoice.
Doing it yourself versus having it done
- DIY traps work for a single mouse, not for a group
- Poison placed wrongly leaves carcasses where you cannot reach them
- Without proofing the problem returns within a few months
- Repairing pipes or insulation costs many times a treatment

Prevention that actually works
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.
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.
Shed, garage and storage
- Potting soil, bird food and pet food in sealed metal or hard containers
- A brush strip or metal profile under the door
- Look behind the cupboards and shelving once a year
- No cardboard boxes on the floor; they become nesting material
The treatment in Emmeloord explained
- 1
Map the block
Which homes share a crawl space, cavity or shaft, and where are the reports?
- 2
Coordinate
Arrange planning and access with residents, the owners' association or the manager.
- 3
Treat together
Shared spaces are handled as one area rather than address by address.
- 4
Separate the units
Penetrations between the houses are closed, so the problem cannot move again.
The order in which we work is fixed, and it deliberately differs from what most people expect. Look first, act second. Setting traps before you know where the routes run drives the animals into another room and makes the problem larger rather than smaller.
In practice the difference between the two species means this: with mice we often work entirely with traps indoors and the problem is noticeably smaller within a week. With rats we take time to let the animals get used to the equipment, place locked stations outside and allow for two to three weeks.
Where to search in Emmeloord, and where not to
Not every noise in the roof comes from a rat or a mouse, and a wrong diagnosis costs time and money. Stone martens are heavier, active in the early night and leave large twisted droppings with fruit pips and feathers in them. Squirrels are active during the day and make a scratching sound at the eaves. Birds under roof tiles rustle briefly in the morning and stop as soon as it gets dark.
It matters for the approach how long the animals have been there. Animals that have just come in are still close to the point where they entered and are quickly caught. A population that has been in place for months has spread across several rooms and needs the whole house treated at once.
Damage we see most often
- Gnawed cables and wiring, with a risk of short circuits
- Leaks from damaged plastic pipework
- Insulation pulled apart and soiled in floor, cavity or roof
- Contamination of food stores, worktops and storage areas
Rats and mice in Emmeloord: common questions
- Yes. We will drive to Emmeloord for a single mouse behind a skirting board. With a small problem the work is done in one or two visits, which is the cheapest outcome for both sides.
- Certainly. Besides Emmeloord itself we work on the farms and in the rural parts of Noordoostpolder. There, sheds, storage and verges often matter more than the house itself.
- For an urgent problem we are often there the same day, and otherwise within 24 hours. 24/7 bereikbaar bij acute ratten- en muizenoverlast
- The inspection and the quote are free. A single treatment starts from 95 euros, and control including sealing the entry points is quoted per property. You always know the price before we start.
- Yes. We use locked bait stations and place traps where children and pets cannot reach them. Indoors we work entirely with traps and no poison wherever that is possible.
