Statenkwartier and the places where it goes wrong
Statenkwartier is not a random place to have a rodent problem: what happens here follows directly from the landscape and the buildings around it. On sandy heath the ground is dry and easy to burrow in, and the edges of that landscape are where it meets housing. Sheds and outbuildings along that edge are usually the first place where traces show up.
That is why proofing is part of the standard job in Statenkwartier and not an optional extra. Alongside that, the old centre plays a part in what we find here.
Statenkwartier falls under the municipality of Den Haag in Zuid-Holland. We cover it on the same schedule as the surrounding places, including Scheveningen, Segbroek and Belgisch Park, so an extra visit rarely takes long to arrange.
What we look at first in Statenkwartier
An inspection in Statenkwartier follows the places that matter most locally. Given the open heath, these are at the top of the list:
- the open heath and drifting sand at the edge of the settlement
- dry, easily burrowed ground along the boundary
- outbuildings on the side facing the open landscape
- cellars that connect beneath adjoining buildings
Rats or mice in Statenkwartier: what to look for
Gnaw marks can be read like a text once you know what to look for. Two parallel grooves about four millimetres wide belong to a rat; fine, shallow marks a millimetre across belong to a mouse. Fresh gnawing is light in colour and feels sharp; older gnawing has darkened and has rounded edges.
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.
Early signals around pets
- Staring, scratching or sniffing at the same corner repeatedly
- Food disappearing faster than your pet can eat it
- Biscuits turning up behind a cupboard or in a drawer
- Restlessness in a rabbit, guinea pig or chicken hutch towards evening
The treatment in four stages
- 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.
- 4
Plan and price
By the end of the visit you know what is needed, what it costs and when we can come.
What we find and what we do is put in writing. Afterwards you receive a report with the species identified, the location and scale of the problem, photographs of the openings we found and the materials used to close them. That document is usable towards a landlord, an owners' association or an insurer.
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.
Preventing a repeat in Statenkwartier
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.
Keep rice, pasta, flour, muesli, nuts and pet food in glass or metal containers rather than the original packaging. That is not only prevention: if something does get in, there is nothing to find and the animal leaves sooner than it arrived.
During a renovation
- Close open trenches and penetrations at the end of each day
- Remove building waste and the crew's food scraps daily
- Never leave an extension open overnight
- Walk the whole envelope yourself once after handover
Price, quote and guarantee
We work with three clear levels. The first is the inspection with advice: that is free, including when it shows no treatment is needed. The second is a single treatment from 95 euros, for a contained problem such as mice in a kitchen. The third is control combined with proofing, where we solve the problem and close the building.
A roof edge four metres up counts too, as does a facade that can only be reached across the neighbours' property. We name those things during the free inspection, so the amount on the quote needs no explanation.
When a job runs longer
- A problem that has been going on for months
- A population spread across several homes
- A crawl space that can only be opened with breaking work
- A property backing onto public green space or open water
