What we find at homes in Kijkduin
To understand a rodent problem in Kijkduin it helps to look at what surrounds the buildings. Water on one side and buildings on the other leaves a narrow strip in which everything happens. Reed, bank vegetation and moorings run right up to the first gardens, so the distance from habitat to house is very short here.
The practical consequence for Kijkduin 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.
Kijkduin falls under the municipality of Den Haag in Zuid-Holland. We cover it on the same schedule as the surrounding places, including Loosduinen, Segbroek and Monster, so an extra visit rarely takes long to arrange.
What we look at first in Kijkduin
Based on what we have found in Kijkduin before, these are the points we always include:
- reed beds along the shore or the lake
- marinas, pavilions and seasonal catering
- the narrow strip between water and housing
- the open heath and drifting sand at the edge of the settlement
What you can do yourself
In the garden it is mostly about cover. Rats rarely cross open ground; they run along walls, fences and dense planting. Interrupting those routes makes the property immediately less attractive. That does not mean clearing everything: keeping a strip of thirty centimetres clear along the facade already helps.
This is the part you have the most influence over yourself. A treatment that is not combined with clearing up holds for a few months at best.
Breaking the cover
- Keep a strip of thirty centimetres along the facade clear
- Shed and garden store on legs rather than on the ground
- Stacks on a rack, clear of wall and fence
- Thin out dense planting along running routes each year
Costs, quote and payment
The largest cost of a rodent problem is almost never the treatment but what gets damaged in the meantime. A gnawed plastic water pipe under the floor, insulation that has to be replaced, wiring in the meter cupboard, a contaminated food cupboard: those add up quickly and are often not covered by insurance.
The rates themselves are simple: inspection and advice free, a single treatment from 95 euros, and control with proofing on request. Payment is by invoice after the work is finished.
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

Catching a rodent problem in Kijkduin early
Rodent problems develop in stages, and the stage tells you how big it already is. In the first days there is barely anything to see: some rustling, a single dropping. After two or three weeks the routes are established and you find grease marks and droppings in the same places. Left longer, nesting and gnawing damage follow and the group spreads to other rooms.
Go by what you find rather than by what you see. Check the places that are warm, dark and undisturbed: the meter cupboard, the space behind the washing machine, the crawl space hatch, the cavity wall of an older facade and the corner of the shed where bags are stored.
What the pattern of the find means
- Scattered through the room: a single animal exploring
- In a strip along the wall: an established route
- Piled in one fixed spot: a latrine, so a settled group
- In several rooms at once: the population is expanding

Guarantee
If the problem returns within the agreed period, we come back without discussion.
We work with the same technician in the same area, and that is a deliberate choice. The person who does your inspection is the one who comes back for the follow-up. You do not have to tell your story twice, and whoever returns sees immediately what has changed since the previous visit.
Where several homes are affected we coordinate the planning with the other residents, the owners' association or the property manager, and treat the shared spaces as one area. That is more efficient, cheaper per home, and the only approach that holds up over time.
Rats and mice in Kijkduin: common questions
- For an urgent problem in Kijkduin we are often there the same day, and otherwise within 24 hours. We work in Den Haag and the surrounding villages daily, so the lines are short.
- Certainly. Besides Kijkduin 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.
- 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.
