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 Utrecht 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 Utrecht

In Utrecht, our work is mainly in stacked, rented housing. In Overvecht and Kanaleneiland, mice travel through service shafts and storage corridors, so we inspect the whole block, not just one kitchen. Lombok and the city centre have continuous crawl spaces; the brown rat gets in there through old sewer connections. In Leidsche Rijn's new builds, mice get in through service entries. Since 2023, members of the public can no longer use rodenticides outdoors; we use traps and seal the way in. We can usually inspect within a few working days.

The Antiplaag approach

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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 Utrecht

How soon can a technician get to Utrecht?

Today. We're based in Amsterdam and cover all of Utrecht, including Leidsche Rijn and Overvecht.

What does rat control in Utrecht 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 Utrecht do you cover?

All of them, including Leidsche Rijn (3541–3546), Overvecht (3561–3565), Lombok (3531) and Kanaleneiland (3526–3527), and the area around Kanaleneiland.

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.
