The surroundings of Tongelre as a starting point
Tongelre is not a random place to have a rodent problem: what happens here follows directly from the landscape and the buildings around it. In polder country the ground water sits close to the surface and the ditch pattern is dense. That combination means a rodent almost never has to leave cover, and it explains why a single source can affect several streets at once.
Alongside that, the woodland edge plays a part in what we find here. We follow the route backwards in Tongelre, from the room where you noticed it to the point outside where it begins.
Tongelre falls under the municipality of Eindhoven in Noord-Brabant, a large village of roughly 20,000 people. We cover it on the same schedule as the surrounding places, including Stratum, Woensel and Eindhoven-Centrum, so an extra visit rarely takes long to arrange.
Our starting points for an inspection in Tongelre
An inspection in Tongelre follows the places that matter most locally. Given the ditches and watercourses, these are at the top of the list:
- the network of ditches and drainage channels between the plots
- overgrown banks that give cover right up to the gardens
- culverts and bridges where routes come together
- the tree line where the wood meets the built-up area
What does rat or mouse control in Tongelre cost?
Every job starts with a free inspection. After that you receive a quote with a fixed amount, a description of the work and the guarantee that comes with it. Only once you agree do we schedule the work. Letting us look commits you to nothing.
What we are clear about: if work follows from the inspection, you hear the amount before anything happens. A single treatment starts from 95 euros and proofing is quoted per property, always at a fixed price agreed in advance.
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

Why we do it this way
- 1
No loose product
Never a rodenticide loose in a crawl space or shed; only inside a locked station.
- 2
No glue boards
They are inhumane and solve nothing, because the cause simply stays in place.
- 3
No expanding foam
A rat gets through it in one night; we use steel mesh, mortar and metal.
- 4
Nothing left behind
No equipment that stays in place without anyone checking it again.
We start by measuring rather than by treating. On the first visit we place monitoring points along the suspected routes without any product: a trap that is not yet set, some non-toxic bait, sometimes just a dusting of powder. Two days later we know exactly which points are active and roughly how large the group is.
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.
The signals that come before real trouble
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.
Take a torch and hold it low and at an angle to the floor rather than straight ahead. In that raking light, grease marks, hairs and fine footprints in dust stand out immediately, while under normal ceiling light they disappear completely.
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
Preventing is cheaper than treating
In terraced houses, apartments and homes with a shared crawl space the problem does not stop at your wall. Mice and rats travel under the floor or through the cavity from house to house, so sealing one home only moves the problem. Treating your own house alone often means it comes back within a month by way of the neighbours.
The practical conclusion of that seasonal pattern: do the structural check in August or September, ahead of the autumn migration. A house that is closed by then usually gets through the winter without trouble.
The year at a glance
- August and September: structural check before the autumn migration
- October to December: peak of the movement indoors
- January to March: the population sits inside and keeps growing
- April to July: animals move outdoors again and numbers rise
