The landscape around Graafsepoort and its effect
Every place has its own reason for rodent activity, and in Graafsepoort it starts outside the house. In blocks of flats and post-war terraces, shared storage rooms, bike stores and service shafts are the routes between homes. A problem that starts in a communal store spreads upward through the shafts, and it needs the whole entrance dealt with at once.
Alongside that, the bars and restaurants plays a part in what we find here. We follow the route backwards in Graafsepoort, from the room where you noticed it to the point outside where it begins.
Graafsepoort falls under the municipality of 's-Hertogenbosch in Noord-Brabant, a large village of roughly 17,000 people. We cover it on the same schedule as the surrounding places, including Muntel en Vliert, Binnenstad 's-Hertogenbosch and Rosmalen, so an extra visit rarely takes long to arrange.
Our starting points for an inspection in Graafsepoort
An inspection in Graafsepoort runs a fixed route past the situations that occur here. In concrete terms:
- crawl spaces running on under several homes
- communal storage rooms and bike stores
- service shafts connecting the floors of a block
- bins and containers in inner courtyards
Our way of working
- 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.
The structural work is where most companies move too quickly, and it is where the lasting result comes from. A mouse needs an opening of six millimetres, a rat two centimetres. In an average Dutch house we find between five and fifteen: at the meter cupboard, along the gas pipe, under the threshold, at the crawl space hatch, behind the downpipe and where the roof boarding does not close.
That conversation also decides how urgent it is. Noise in a child's bedroom or gnawed wiring in a meter cupboard we treat as an emergency; a single trace in a shed can usually wait for the next regular appointment.
Rates without surprises
You get a fixed price in advance, not an hourly rate and no settlement afterwards. That is a deliberate choice: with hourly billing a pest controller benefits from the job taking longer, which is exactly the wrong incentive. With us the price is agreed before we start and only changes if you ask for extra work yourself.
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.
Three levels
- Inspection with advice: free, including when no treatment is needed
- Single treatment: from 95 euros, for a contained problem
- Control with proofing: quoted per property, as the number of openings decides

Preventive measures for Graafsepoort
Food storage indoors is usually only addressed once something has been gnawed. That is a shame, because it is the cheapest measure there is. A mouse gets through cardboard, paper and thin plastic without effort, but not through glass or metal, and that difference decides whether a food cupboard is interesting or not.
Make sure the bin has a lid that really closes and that it does not stand tight against a fence or shrubs, because then it is reachable under cover as well. Put bags out on the morning of collection day rather than the evening before.
Removing food sources
- Bird food only in a feeder that does not spill, and taken in at night
- Pet food in a sealed container, not in the original bag
- Fallen fruit picked up daily and compost in a closed bin
- Household waste in a closed container, not in a bag beside it
How to work out what you are dealing with
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.
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.
Two tests you can do yourself
- Dust flour along the suspected route and check the next morning
- Place cardboard loosely over an opening and watch for movement or gnawing
- Put a sheet of paper under a suspect gap and check for droppings
- Note the time of day you hear noise; it helps identify the species
Rats and mice in Graafsepoort: common questions
- Yes. We will drive to Graafsepoort 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.
- Yes, all of Graafsepoort and the rest of the municipality of 's-Hertogenbosch, plus the surrounding villages and districts in Noord-Brabant.
- Yes. Gnawed wiring is a fire risk, damaged plastic pipes cause leaks and displaced insulation costs heat. Acting early limits that damage considerably.
- Call or message us on 06 57 17 38 94, or fill in the form on the quote page. You get an answer the same day and we usually schedule the inspection within 24 hours.
- Usually not. Many Dutch home and contents policies exclude damage caused by vermin, or cover only consequential damage such as a leak. Check your policy and keep our report with photographs.
