The situation in Reeshof
The reports we get from Reeshof follow a recognisable pattern, and that pattern comes from the setting. Canals were built straight and they stay open, which makes them ideal travel routes. The banks are mown but never cleared, the stonework has gaps, and the moorings along them provide both shelter and food. From that line, the nearest housing is usually a few dozen metres away.
Around Reeshof 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. Because of that, a report from Reeshof in the first week is almost always the shortest and cheapest one to deal with.
Reeshof falls under the municipality of Tilburg in Noord-Brabant, a town of roughly 43,000 people. We cover it on the same schedule as the surrounding places, including Tilburg-West, Dongen and Tilburg-Centrum, so an extra visit rarely takes long to arrange.
What we check in Reeshof
What we check in Reeshof follows from the surroundings. These are the points where we most often find something:
- quay walls and lock structures with cavities behind them
- the towpath and bank vegetation along the waterway
- moorings and the waste that collects around them
- the network of ditches and drainage channels between the plots
Spotting a rodent problem in time
Rats and mice leave different traces, and that difference decides what the treatment looks like. A mouse usually stays within a few metres of its nest, while a rat covers tens of metres in a single night. Knowing which one you are dealing with therefore tells you straight away how large the area is that has to be treated.
A second early signal is food disappearing faster than it should. If more goes out of the bowl than your pet eats, or if you find biscuits in an odd place behind a cupboard, something is eating along. Rodents carry food back to the nest, and those displaced pieces often point fairly precisely in the right direction.
How an untreated problem develops
- Week 1: occasional noise, loose droppings, hardly any damage
- Weeks 2 to 4: fixed routes, grease marks, more droppings
- After a month: nests, gnawing damage and activity in several rooms
- Animals visible in daylight: the population is large and spreading
What works and what does not
Rodents come for food, and most of the food they find was offered by accident. Half a kilo of spilled seed under a bird feeder keeps a family of mice going for a week. Removing the food sources lowers the attraction of the whole property, and that works better than any product.
You do not have to remove the planting. Cut it clear of the roof and the gutter, keep it away from air bricks and penetrations, and look behind the leaves once a year with a torch. The same applies to a dense hedge along a fence.

You get a direct number, so you can send a photo or a question in between visits.

Short lines
Our technicians work a fixed area, so an extra visit is usually easy to fit in.
- 4
Finish by appointment
The final check is planned at a time that suits you, not on a random day.
What we do not do matters as much as what we do. We do not scatter loose product in a crawl space, we do not use glue boards, we do not seal anything with expanding foam and we do not leave material behind that nobody checks again. All four are ways of appearing to act in the short term while creating a larger problem later.
Being reachable is part of the job. You get the number of the technician who visited you, and between visits you can send a photograph of anything you find. That often saves a trip and sometimes a week of waiting.
The cost for an address in Reeshof
What a treatment costs also depends on how long you have been living with it. A report in the first week concerns a handful of animals and is usually resolved with one visit and a follow-up. The same situation three months later involves an established group across several rooms, which is a different job with a different price.
Concretely: inspection and quote free, single treatment from 95 euros, control plus proofing quoted per property. What is not included we say in advance, so nothing is a surprise afterwards.
Why proofing is quoted per property
- New build: often three openings, all at pipe penetrations
- Nineteen-seventies housing: vents, thresholds and hatch usually need work
- Pre-war: up to fifteen points, with masonry work as well
- A fixed price would mean one customer paying for another

Rats and mice in Reeshof: common questions
- For a regular appointment in Reeshof we usually plan within one or two working days. For emergencies we aim for the same day; our technicians work in Tilburg and the surrounding area.
- Yes. Reeshof falls within our service area in Noord-Brabant, along with the rest of Tilburg and the neighbouring places. There is no call-out charge for it.
- Only when it is genuinely necessary and always inside a locked station, in line with the Dutch IPM rules. In many homes no rodenticide is used at all.
- Yes. Mice live in groups and breed all year round, so one visible mouse almost always means more animals. Acting early is considerably cheaper than waiting.
- Certainly. We do advise informing your landlord in writing, because structural defects are their responsibility under Dutch rental law. We supply an inspection report you can forward.
