Why a report from Putte looks the way it does
To understand a rodent problem in Putte it helps to look at what surrounds the buildings. Catering produces a predictable daily cycle: waste out in the evening, activity overnight, complaints from the flats above the following week. The bins are usually in an enclosed courtyard, which is sheltered and out of sight.
Around Putte we consistently see the same few factors at work, and they are the ones we check first. Alongside that, the border location plays a part in what we find here. A mouse gets through an opening of six millimetres and a rat through two centimetres, so an inspection in Putte starts by working out where those openings are.
Putte falls under the municipality of Woensdrecht in Noord-Brabant, a village of roughly 4,000 people. We cover it on the same schedule as the surrounding places, including Ossendrecht, Huijbergen and Hoogerheide, so an extra visit rarely takes long to arrange.
What we check in Putte
Based on what we have found in Putte before, these are the points we always include:
- bins and containers in inner courtyards
- food waste put out in the evening
- cellars and storage beneath catering premises
- built-up area continuing across the national border
Preventing problems in Putte
New build is not automatically rodent-free, and that surprises many people. A newly delivered house has tight brickwork and well-fitting frames, but the pipe penetrations in the crawl space and the connections at the meter cupboard are regularly left unfinished. In a three-year-old house we sometimes find an opening you can put a hand through.
With shared floors and walls it works like this: agree it with the neighbours or the owners' association, have the inspection done in one round, and treat the shared spaces together. In rented housing the landlord is responsible for structural defects, so report it in writing and ask for repair.
Removing food sources
- Bird food only in a feeder that does not spill, and taken in at night
- Pet food in a sealed container, not in the original bag
- Fallen fruit picked up daily and compost in a closed bin
- Household waste in a closed container, not in a bag beside it
What you can see, hear and smell
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.
Pay attention to the time of day as well. Activity around sunset and in the early morning belongs to normal, healthy animals. Noise in the middle of the day points to a full population or to a nest that has been disturbed, for example by building work or by another hole being sealed nearby.
Reading gnaw marks
- Two parallel grooves about four millimetres wide: rat
- Fine, shallow marks about a millimetre across: mouse
- Light in colour and sharp to the touch: fresh gnawing
- Darkened with rounded edges: weeks to months old

Not every situation calls for the same work, and we say so even when it costs us the job. Sometimes an inspection shows there is no rodent at all but a stone marten, and then we refer you on. Sometimes a single mouse walked in through an open door and a trap plus a draught-proof threshold is enough. And sometimes the cause is a defect that needs a builder.
For tenants that written record is often the most valuable part of the job. In Dutch rental law structural defects are the landlord's responsibility, and a written case with photographs gets results considerably faster than a phone call.
