The situation in Oldebroek
The reports we get from Oldebroek follow a recognisable pattern, and that pattern comes from the setting. Working farms change the arithmetic completely. A stored crop, a feed silo or a bale stack is a food supply that does not run out in January, and the buildings around it stay warm and quiet. That is why numbers here do not collapse in winter the way they do in a residential street.
Around Oldebroek we consistently see the same few factors at work, and they are the ones we check first. Alongside that, the ditches and watercourses plays a part in what we find here. In Oldebroek the difference between one mouse and a settled group is often a matter of weeks rather than months.
Oldebroek falls under the municipality of Oldebroek in Gelderland, a large village of roughly 6,500 people. We cover it on the same schedule as the surrounding places, including 't Harde, Oosterwolde Gld and Wezep, so an extra visit rarely takes long to arrange. The smaller places around it are part of the same service area: 't Loo Oldebroek. There is no call-out charge for any of them.
The places that yield the most in Oldebroek
What we check in Oldebroek follows from the surroundings. These are the points where we most often find something:
- feed stores, barns and machinery sheds on the farms
- hay and straw storage as a winter shelter
- verges and field margins connecting the yards
- the network of ditches and drainage channels between the plots
How to work out what you are dealing with
A rodent problem is almost never limited to one house. Rodents ignore property lines: they travel through the cavity wall, under the floor, through a shared crawl space and along the fence from plot to plot. If you find traces, there is a good chance the neighbours have them too, or that it started there.
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.
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
Preventive measures for Oldebroek
Ivy and dense climbing plants against the facade are not the problem in themselves, but they hide and provide access to everything that is. A rat climbs well and uses a green wall as a ladder to the roof edge, and behind the leaves you can no longer see a broken vent or an open joint.
Do not seal an opening with expanding foam or tape. A rat gets through both in a single night. Use steel mesh, mortar or a metal grille, and make sure the material is fixed on all sides.
With chickens, rabbits or pigeons
- Feed what is eaten in one day and remove leftovers in the evening
- A feeder that does not tip over or spill
- The hutch on legs, at least twenty centimetres off the ground
- Feed stored in metal bins, because plastic buckets get gnawed through
Our way of working
- 1
Intake by phone
When, where and at what time do you notice it? Those answers steer the whole inspection.
- 2
Judge the urgency
Wiring, a child's bedroom or food preparation comes first; a trace in a shed can wait.
- 3
Inspect with purpose
With your account in mind we search the places that are most likely first.

Plan and price
By the end of the visit you know what is needed, what it costs and when we can come.
Rats and mice need a different approach, which is exactly why a standard package rarely works. Mice live in small groups close to their food, are curious and will approach a trap quickly. Rats are wary, avoid new objects for days and range over a much larger area, often shared with neighbours and public green space.
A job is only closed once the route inside is sealed. A house that has been emptied of animals but still has an open gap is not a solved problem, only a temporarily quiet one.
Rates without surprises
The inspection is free, and there is no catch attached to that. We come and look, you hear what is going on and what it would cost, and then you decide. If you say no, that is the end of it and no invoice follows for the visit.
The inspection and the quote are free and without obligation. A single treatment starts from 95 euros, and control including sealing the entry points is quoted per property, because the number of openings varies so much.
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

- Yes, all of Oldebroek and the rest of the municipality of Oldebroek, plus the surrounding villages and districts in Gelderland.
- The follow-up check is included in the agreed price. Only if there is a demonstrably new problem, or extra work you request yourself, do we agree a new price in advance.
- August and September, ahead of the autumn migration. A house that is structurally closed by then usually gets through the winter without mice.
