The setting around Maaspoort and what it means
Every place has its own reason for rodent activity, and in Maaspoort it starts outside the house. The ditches and drainage channels between the plots are the road network here. They hold water all year, the banks are overgrown, and they connect farmland, industrial plots and back gardens into one continuous system. A problem that starts at one address rarely stays there.
Alongside that, the river and its banks plays a part in what we find here. We follow the route backwards in Maaspoort, from the room where you noticed it to the point outside where it begins.
Maaspoort falls under the municipality of 's-Hertogenbosch in Noord-Brabant, a large village of roughly 18,000 people. We cover it on the same schedule as the surrounding places, including Muntel en Vliert, Empel and 's-Hertogenbosch-West, so an extra visit rarely takes long to arrange.
Our starting points for an inspection in Maaspoort
An inspection in Maaspoort runs a fixed route past the situations that occur here. In concrete terms:
- 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
- the river bank and floodplain within walking distance
Checking for yourself whether it is still active
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.
Another simple test uses a piece of cardboard placed loosely in front of an opening. If it has moved by the next day, or has been gnawed along the edge, the opening is in use. These checks cost nothing and give exactly the information we need to start in the right place.
Signals you can check yourself
- Droppings in the same place each time, because rodents follow fixed routes
- A musty, ammonia-like smell in a cupboard or crawl space
- Pale grease marks along a wall or cable duct, at knee height or lower
- Pets staring or scratching at one particular corner
- Food or scraps turning up in an unexpected place
What you pay in Maaspoort
What a quote from us does not contain matters as much as what it does. There is no call-out charge, no evening or weekend surcharge for a normal appointment, no administration fee and no compulsory follow-up contract. What you agree is what you pay, and it fits on one page.
We supply a report with photographs of the openings found as standard, and that is exactly what a landlord or housing association needs in order to act. The inspection for it is free; if you want only that report and no treatment, that is possible too.

Finish by appointment
The final check is planned at a time that suits you, not on a random day.
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.
That order works in your favour. A rodenticide removes the animals that are present but not the reason they were there. As long as the food source and the opening remain, the next group simply takes the place over.
The measures that deliver the most
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.
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.
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
Rats and mice in Maaspoort: common questions
- For a regular appointment in Maaspoort we usually plan within one or two working days. For emergencies we aim for the same day; our technicians work in 's-Hertogenbosch and the surrounding area.
- Yes, all of Maaspoort and the rest of the municipality of 's-Hertogenbosch, plus the surrounding villages and districts in Noord-Brabant.
- With mice you usually notice a clear difference within a week. Rats are more cautious and avoid new objects for a few days, so there we allow for two to three weeks.
- For the inspection and the first treatment yes, so that we can look inside and outside and agree on the approach. For a follow-up check that is often not necessary.
- Not if the entry routes have been sealed. That is why proofing is part of our standard proposal and why there is a guarantee on the work.
