Rat and mouse control for households
Rats and mice in or around a home are more than a nuisance: they are a health risk and they cause real damage to pipework, wiring and insulation. We find the cause, deal with the animals effectively and make sure they cannot come back.
How to tell whether you have rats or mice
Gnaw marks on cables or skirting boards, dark droppings (rice-sized for mice, raisin-sized for rats), a musty ammonia smell, rustling in the roof or in cavity walls, and chewed packaging are all clear signals. Rats and mice are mainly active at night; if you see one during the day, the population is usually larger than you think.
How we treat a rodent problem
We work to IPM, Integrated Pest Management, which is the legally required method in the Netherlands. First a thorough inspection to establish the species, the scale and the entry routes, then targeted treatment with the right materials, and finally removing the cause. That way the problem is not just cleared but prevented from returning.
Why call a professional
Rats and mice breed quickly and are wary and intelligent. Products from a DIY shop generally address the symptoms only. Our technicians have access to professional materials and know exactly where and how to use them safely, including in a house with children and pets.
What Dutch housing has to do with it
Most houses here have a crawl space: a shallow ventilated void between the ground and the ground floor, reachable through a hatch. All the pipework runs through it, and in a terraced row it often continues under several homes without a separation. That single feature explains why a rodent problem in the Netherlands so rarely stays at one address.
How we work

Inspection
We go through the house from crawl space to roof edge, identify the species and trace the route back to where they get in.

Treatment
Traps and locked bait stations on the established routes, placed out of reach of children and pets.

Proofing
Openings, air bricks and pipe penetrations are closed with steel mesh, mortar or brush profile.

Follow-up
A return visit to confirm it stays quiet, plus advice on waste, food storage and maintenance.
