How we get rid of rats
Proofing
We block off holes, pipe entries and routes from the sewer so no new rats can get in.
Traps
Professional traps along their runs and near the nest. Fast results.
Locked trap boxes
Locked rat boxes, safe for kids, pets and your chickens or rabbits.
What we see most often in Leiden homes
Gnaw marks
Chewed wood, cables, pipes or feed bags in the shed, garage or crawl space.
Large droppings
Dark droppings one to two centimetres long, much bigger than a mouse's.
Noises under the floor
Scratching or scurrying under the floor, in the cavity or above the ceiling, especially at night.
Burrows in the garden
Holes a few centimetres wide under paving, a shed or fence, or by the chicken coop or rabbit hutch.
Greasy marks
Dark smears along walls, pipes and around the edges of holes.
Rats out in daylight
A rat out and about during the day means there's a nest nearby.

Rat control in Leiden
Leiden is a city of landlords. In the Binnenstad and Roodenburg there are narrow buildings with shallow cellars, wooden floors and rented rooms above shops; there, mice move from building to building through cellars and joists. Along the canals and moats, the brown rat makes its way to inner courtyards and bicycle cellars. Merenwijk and Stevenshof date from the 1970s and 1980s: mice through service entries and the crawl space. Private landlords and managing agents get the same written report. An inspection is usually scheduled within a few working days.

The 
approach
Inspect
We start with a thorough inspection inside and out, mapping signs of activity, entry points, nesting sites and anything that attracts mice or rats.
Identify
Using our knowledge of rodent behaviour, we establish whether it's mice or rats and what's drawing them in: food, gaps or shelter.
Protect
We set traps in locked boxes where they'll work best and seal holes and gaps, so they can't get back in or nest again.
Local pest control you can trust
Thorough inspection
Our trained technicians pinpoint the problem, spot anything that could cause trouble later and start the right treatment straight away.
A plan that fits
We explain what's causing the problem and agree a plan for your situation that gets rid of the pests and keeps them away.
Always on call
Call or WhatsApp us day or night and we'll book you in fast.
Questions about rat control in Leiden
How soon can a technician get to Leiden?
Today. We're based in Amsterdam and cover all of Leiden, including Merenwijk and Stevenshof.
What does rat control in Leiden involve?
We find out how they're getting in, seal the gaps and set traps in locked boxes. Then we return for a follow-up check.
Which parts of Leiden do you cover?
All of them, including Merenwijk (2317), Stevenshof (2331–2332), Roodenburg (2313) and Binnenstad (2311–2312), and the area around Binnenstad.
Do rats come from the sewer?
They can. A broken sewer pipe, a loose connection under the floor or an open drain is the quickest way in, sometimes even through the toilet. We find that route and block it off; otherwise the next rat simply gets in the same way.
Can I use rat poison myself?
Not outdoors: since 2023, members of the public can no longer use anticoagulant rat poison outside, and very little is allowed indoors. Poison doesn't tackle the source either. Our technicians use traps in locked boxes and seal the way in.
There's a rat near my chicken coop or rabbit hutch. What should I do?
Call or message us today. Feed and bedding attract rats. We find the burrows and the nest, set traps in locked boxes out of your animals' reach, and show you how to rat-proof the hutch and feed.
