The landscape around 's-Hertogenbosch and its effect
Every place has its own reason for rodent activity, and in 's-Hertogenbosch it starts outside the house. Historic buildings have voids in places modern construction does not: behind panelling, under timber floors, in the space between an old and a newer wall. Combined with the moisture that older masonry holds, that makes a historic centre an environment where a population can settle quietly.
Alongside that, the river and its banks plays a part in what we find here. That is why we map the whole property in 's-Hertogenbosch first and only then the room where you noticed something.
's-Hertogenbosch falls under the municipality of 's-Hertogenbosch in Noord-Brabant, a town of roughly 115,000 people. We cover it on the same schedule as the surrounding places, including Hedel, Rosmalen and Vlijmen, so an extra visit rarely takes long to arrange.
Our starting points for an inspection in 's-Hertogenbosch
An inspection in 's-Hertogenbosch runs a fixed route past the situations that occur here. In concrete terms:
- cellars that connect beneath adjoining buildings
- soft mortar and settled masonry with open joints
- timber floors and voids behind panelling
- the river bank and floodplain within walking distance
Our approach for 's-Hertogenbosch and the surrounding area
- 1
Assess the risks
Who lives here, which pets are there and which rooms can children reach?
- 2
Mechanical where possible
Shielded traps inside tunnels on the route, so only the target animal can reach them.
- 3
Locked where necessary
If a product is used, it goes exclusively into a station that opens with a key.
- 4
Remove
All equipment goes back with us afterwards; nothing stays behind in the house or garden.
The structural work is where most companies move too quickly, and it is where the lasting result comes from. A mouse needs an opening of six millimetres, a rat two centimetres. In an average Dutch house we find between five and fifteen: at the meter cupboard, along the gas pipe, under the threshold, at the crawl space hatch, behind the downpipe and where the roof boarding does not close.
The openings we find are photographed, sealed with material that cannot be gnawed through, and shown to you. We do not use expanding foam or tape; a rat gets through both in a single night.
Prices and what determines them
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.
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.
The cost of waiting
- Gnawed plastic water pipes under the floor
- Soiled and displaced insulation that has to be replaced
- Damaged wiring in the meter cupboard or crawl space
- Food stores, worktops and storage that have to be discarded

Keeping rodents away from your home in 's-Hertogenbosch
The second layer is structural: if there is nothing to get in through, the problem stays outside. Walk around the house once and look at knee height and below, because nine times out of ten that is where the opening is. Think of the gas pipe penetration, the gap under a threshold, a broken air brick and the join at the downpipe.
So agree with the contractor that open trenches and penetrations are temporarily closed at the end of each working day, and walk the whole building envelope yourself once after handover. That takes an hour and often saves a full treatment.
Planting against the facade
- Cut ivy clear of the roof edge and the gutter
- Keep planting away from air bricks and penetrations
- Look behind the leaves once a year with a torch
- Thin out a dense hedge along the fence annually
What attracts rodents to a house
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.
So look further than your own walls. During an inspection we always ask whether there has been work on drains, foundations or paving in the street, whether anything nearby is being demolished or renovated, and whether anyone in the area is feeding animals. That information often explains in one go why it is happening now.
Telling fresh from old
- Fresh droppings are dark, shiny and still soft
- Old droppings are dull, greyish and break when touched
- Droppings of different sizes mean young animals on site
- Sweep a spot clean and check two days later to measure activity
Rats and mice in 's-Hertogenbosch: common questions
- Yes. We will drive to 's-Hertogenbosch for a single mouse behind a skirting board. With a small problem the work is done in one or two visits, which is the cheapest outcome for both sides.
- Certainly. Besides 's-Hertogenbosch itself we work on the farms and in the rural parts of 's-Hertogenbosch. There, sheds, storage and verges often matter more than the house itself.
- Use a closed container rather than bags beside the bin, keep food scraps off the compost heap and pick up fallen fruit daily.
- Our focus is on private homes. We are happy to discuss small-scale business situations, so get in touch to hear what is possible.
- Not automatically. The last animals are always the most cautious. We only close a job once there has been no activity for several days and the entry points are sealed.
