What we find at homes in Hank
To understand a rodent problem in Hank it helps to look at what surrounds the buildings. In a landscape of polder ditches and watercourses, brown rats can reach almost any back garden without leaving cover. That is why we follow the ditch line back from a house rather than starting inside: the source is usually a bank, a culvert or a stack of material beside the water.
Around Hank we consistently see the same few factors at work, and they are the ones we check first. Alongside that, the farms around the village plays a part in what we find here. In Hank the difference between one mouse and a settled group is often a matter of weeks rather than months.
Hank falls under the municipality of Altena in Noord-Brabant, a village of roughly 4,500 people. We cover it on the same schedule as the surrounding places, including Raamsdonksveer, Nieuwendijk and Dussen, so an extra visit rarely takes long to arrange.
The places that yield the most in Hank
Based on what we have found in Hank before, these are the points we always include:
- the network of ditches and drainage channels between the plots
- overgrown banks that give cover right up to the gardens
- culverts and bridges where routes come together
- feed stores, barns and machinery sheds on the farms
Making your property less attractive
In terraced houses, apartments and homes with a shared crawl space the problem does not stop at your wall. Mice and rats travel under the floor or through the cavity from house to house, so sealing one home only moves the problem. Treating your own house alone often means it comes back within a month by way of the neighbours.
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.
Planting against the facade

- Keep planting away from air bricks and penetrations
- Look behind the leaves once a year with a torch
- Thin out a dense hedge along the fence annually

Reading traces: a short guide
Traces are rarely where people look for them. Rodents follow walls, skirting boards, pipes and cable trays, because they navigate with their whiskers and avoid open space. Searching the middle of an attic or a garage therefore turns up nothing, while there is plenty to see along the edges.
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.
What the smell tells you
- Sharp and ammonia-like in a closed cupboard: mouse urine
- Heavy and musty around one fixed spot: a rat nest
- Sweet and penetrating after a few days: a carcass in the structure
- A smell that returns after cleaning: the nest is still in place
Our approach, step by step
- 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.
Safety decides the method here, not the other way round. In a household with children, dogs or cats we use mechanical control as standard: shielded traps inside tunnels, placed where only the target animal can reach them. Where we do use a product, it goes exclusively into a locked bait station that opens with a key.
At the first visit you hear which step comes when and what you can hold us to. If things go differently than planned, for example because the crawl space turns out to be inaccessible, you hear it the same day rather than afterwards.
