The landscape around Nunspeet and its effect
Every place has its own reason for rodent activity, and in Nunspeet it starts outside the house. Woodland and estate planting up against the building line means cover right to the wall. Rodents avoid open ground, so a hedge, a bank of shrubs or a belt of trees running up to the facade is exactly the route they use, and it hides the openings they use as well.
We follow the route backwards in Nunspeet, from the room where you noticed it to the point outside where it begins. Alongside that, the ditches and watercourses plays a part in what we find here. Around Nunspeet we consistently see the same few factors at work, and they are the ones we check first.
Nunspeet falls under the municipality of Nunspeet in Gelderland, a large village of roughly 21,000 people. We cover it on the same schedule as the surrounding places, including Doornspijk, Hulshorst and 't Harde, so an extra visit rarely takes long to arrange.
Local points of attention in Nunspeet
An inspection in Nunspeet runs a fixed route past the situations that occur here. In concrete terms:
- the tree line where the wood meets the built-up area
- hedges and shrub banks running up to the facade
- sheds and outbuildings closest to the wood
- the network of ditches and drainage channels between the plots

Report
You receive the whole file, usable towards a landlord, an owners' association or an insurer.
Every job starts with a ten-minute conversation before anything is done. When did you first hear it, in which room, at what time of day, and has anything changed in or around the house? Those answers steer the inspection, because they usually already indicate roughly where the entry route is.
We would rather give honest advice than sell an unnecessary treatment. The inspection is free, including when the conclusion is that you do not need us. That costs us a job now and then and more often gains us a customer who comes back.
Price structure and conditions
Why is proofing not simply a fixed price? Because the number of openings varies enormously per house. In a well-maintained home built after 2000 we sometimes find three, all at pipe penetrations. In a pre-war building with an old foundation, timber frames and a crawl space hatch that does not close, there are fifteen, and masonry work is needed as well.
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.
The free inspection in short

Prevention indoors and outdoors
The crawl space is the blind spot of most Dutch houses. It is dark, quiet and often damp, and every pipe comes together down there. Anyone who never looks misses exactly the place where rodents settle and from which they reach the rest of the house through the pipe shafts.
It pays to check those connections straight after handover, because they are still easy to reach and repair often falls under the builder's warranty. Later, with a finished garden and a paved terrace, the same spot is considerably harder to get to.
With shared walls and floors
- Agree it with the neighbours or the owners' association first
- Have the inspection done in one round for the whole block
- Treat the shared crawl space and shafts together
- Report structural defects to the landlord in writing
The signs we find in homes in Nunspeet
Damage is often the reason people call, and with rodents that damage is rarely cosmetic. Their teeth grow continuously, so rats and mice gnaw daily on anything that offers resistance: cables, plastic water pipes, insulation, timber and even soft mortar. Chewed wiring in a crawl space or meter cupboard is a genuine fire risk, and a leaking pipe under the floor is only noticed once it is already wet.
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.
Where the noise is coming from
- Above a suspended ceiling: usually mice between the battens
- From the cavity wall or behind panelling: mice using the facade
- Under the floor, with a dull thud: more likely a rat than a mouse
- In the roof, with material being dragged: nest building in insulation
- At the eaves, in daylight only: probably birds or squirrels
