The surroundings of Tuinzigt as a starting point
Tuinzigt is not a random place to have a rodent problem: what happens here follows directly from the landscape and the buildings around it. A railway or motorway does not stop a population; it moves one. The embankment carries animals along the length of a town, and every point where a back garden touches that strip is a possible entry point.
The practical consequence for Tuinzigt is that the outside of the building matters as much as the inside. Alongside that, the pre-war housing plays a part in what we find here.
Tuinzigt falls under the municipality of Breda in Noord-Brabant, a large village of roughly 7,000 people. We cover it on the same schedule as the surrounding places, including Breda-Centrum, Princenhage and Haagse Beemden, so an extra visit rarely takes long to arrange.
What we look at first in Tuinzigt
An inspection in Tuinzigt follows the places that matter most locally. Given the railway and road verges, these are at the top of the list:
- the railway embankment or motorway verge alongside the area
- green strips that run uninterrupted for kilometres
- the point where those verges meet the back gardens
- shallow crawl spaces under timber ground floors
Costs in perspective
The inspection is free, and there is no catch attached to that. We come and look, you hear what is going on and what it would cost, and then you decide. If you say no, that is the end of it and no invoice follows for the visit.
Acting quickly is therefore cheaper than waiting, even when the problem looks small. The inspection costs you nothing, a single treatment starts at 95 euros and a full programme with proofing is quoted in advance.
Included in the agreed amount
- Inspection inside and outside, including the crawl space
- Materials, placement and removal afterwards
- The follow-up check and advice to prevent a repeat
- With proofing, the sealing materials and the labour as well

The treatment in Tuinzigt explained
- 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.
We work with the same technician in the same area, and that is a deliberate choice. The person who does your inspection is the one who comes back for the follow-up. You do not have to tell your story twice, and whoever returns sees immediately what has changed since the previous visit.
At the first visit you hear which step comes when and what you can hold us to. If things go differently than planned, for example because the crawl space turns out to be inaccessible, you hear it the same day rather than afterwards.
Where to search in Tuinzigt, and where not to
The time of year in which you notice something says a lot about what is happening. Reports in September and October are almost always about animals moving indoors because it is getting colder. Reports in February and March are about a population that spent the winter inside and has since started breeding.
Another simple test uses a piece of cardboard placed loosely in front of an opening. If it has moved by the next day, or has been gnawed along the edge, the opening is in use. These checks cost nothing and give exactly the information we need to start in the right place.
Two tests you can do yourself
- Dust flour along the suspected route and check the next morning
- Place cardboard loosely over an opening and watch for movement or gnawing
- Put a sheet of paper under a suspect gap and check for droppings
- Note the time of day you hear noise; it helps identify the species
Prevention that actually works
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.
So treat the first traces as a report rather than a curiosity. Check the building envelope that same week, clear away the food sources and have someone look if you are not sure. The inspection costs nothing and at that stage almost always means the shortest treatment.
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
Rats and mice in Tuinzigt: common questions
- For an urgent problem in Tuinzigt we are often there the same day, and otherwise within 24 hours. We work in Breda and the surrounding villages daily, so the lines are short.
- Certainly. Besides Tuinzigt itself we work on the farms and in the rural parts of Breda. There, sheds, storage and verges often matter more than the house itself.
- We take them with us and dispose of them. You do not have to do anything, and nothing is left behind in the crawl space or the shed.
- You can, but place them against the wall and across the running route; a trap in the middle of a room stays empty. With rats it only works after a few days of habituation.
- Through openings from about six millimetres: pipe penetrations, broken air bricks, gaps under thresholds and the crawl space hatch. Rats need two centimetres.
