The surroundings of Leidschendam-Voorburg as a starting point
Leidschendam-Voorburg is not a random place to have a rodent problem: what happens here follows directly from the landscape and the buildings around it. Harbours never fully close down, and neither does the food supply. From the quay the verges, service roads and storage yards lead outwards, which is how a dockside population ends up as a complaint three streets inland.
We follow the route backwards in Leidschendam-Voorburg, from the room where you noticed it to the point outside where it begins. Alongside that, the woodland edge plays a part in what we find here. Around Leidschendam-Voorburg we consistently see the same few factors at work, and they are the ones we check first.
Leidschendam-Voorburg falls under the municipality of Leidschendam-Voorburg in Zuid-Holland. We cover it on the same schedule as the surrounding places, including Den Haag, Rijswijk and Zoetermeer, so an extra visit rarely takes long to arrange.
Local points of attention in Leidschendam-Voorburg
An inspection in Leidschendam-Voorburg follows the places that matter most locally. Given the harbour, these are at the top of the list:
- quaysides and moorings with cavities to nest in
- waste around loading and unloading points
- sheds and stores along the water
- the tree line where the wood meets the built-up area
What a treatment costs
Every job starts with a free inspection. After that you receive a quote with a fixed amount, a description of the work and the guarantee that comes with it. Only once you agree do we schedule the work. Letting us look commits you to nothing.
In all cases the same applies: the inspection is free, you hear the price in advance, and the basis does not change. A single treatment starts from 95 euros and proofing is quoted per property.
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

What we do when you report a problem in Leidschendam-Voorburg
- 1
Assess the risks
Who lives here, which pets are there and which rooms can children reach?
- 2
Mechanical where possible
Shielded traps inside tunnels on the route, so only the target animal can reach them.
- 3
Locked where necessary
If a product is used, it goes exclusively into a station that opens with a key.
- 4
Remove
All equipment goes back with us afterwards; nothing stays behind in the house or garden.
What we find and what we do is put in writing. Afterwards you receive a report with the species identified, the location and scale of the problem, photographs of the openings we found and the materials used to close them. That document is usable towards a landlord, an owners' association or an insurer.
Measuring for two days first usually saves ten. Instead of spreading thirty traps through the house, ten stand in the places that actually matter. With wary rats it is also the way to start the habituation that makes the difference later on.
What your find says about the situation
If you want to know whether it is still going on, there is a simple check that is surprisingly reliable. Dust a thin layer of flour or talcum powder along the suspected route, against the skirting board or in front of the hole, and look the next morning. Footprints and a drag mark from the tail make it clear in one night whether there is activity and which way it runs.
So look further than your own walls. During an inspection we always ask whether there has been work on drains, foundations or paving in the street, whether anything nearby is being demolished or renovated, and whether anyone in the area is feeding animals. That information often explains in one go why it is happening now.
Places where water is available
- A leaking or sweating pipe in the crawl space
- A blocked downpipe or a corner of the facade that is always wet
- A cracked drain connection under the ground floor
- Drinking bowls, pond edges and condensation on a cold outside wall
Practical prevention for any home
Rodent problems follow a clear seasonal pattern in the Netherlands, and you can work ahead of it. In autumn, as soon as the nights turn cold and there is less to find outside, mice move into buildings in large numbers. That is the peak: September to December. In winter the population sits indoors and keeps growing in the warmth.
Storage deserves attention as well. Stacks of firewood, paving slabs, crates and garden furniture that stand all winter are an invitation. Put firewood on a rack, at least thirty centimetres off the ground and clear of the fence, so you can see underneath.
Checking the building envelope
- Check air bricks in the facade and replace them if the mesh is damaged
- Make the crawl space hatch close properly and check the rim
- Seal openings around pipes with steel mesh and mortar
- Check the roof edge and boarding, especially on older roofs
