Pest control in Apeldoorn
Living among the Veluwe woods has its charms, but also its uninvited guests. These are the pests we are most often called out for in and around Apeldoorn.
Mouse control
As soon as it turns colder in October, wood mice and house mice move from gardens and woodland into homes. We find the gaps they slip through, seal them and trap the mice already inside.
Rat control
Rats feel at home along the spring-fed brooks, streams and the Apeldoorns Kanaal. If they reach your garden or house, we find the cause – often the sewer – and advise on a rat flap.
Wasp nest removal
Apeldoorn gardens with plenty of trees and timber sheds are popular with wasps in summer. We remove nests from cavity walls, under roof tiles, in bird boxes and garden sheds, preferably at the end of the day.
Bed bug treatment
After a hotel stay or buying a second-hand bed, bed bugs can move in with you. We confirm the infestation and treat with heat, so the eggs in seams and crevices are dealt with too.
Flea treatment
Dogs that roam the woods around Apeldoorn sometimes bring fleas home. You have the animal treated by the vet; we treat rugs, sofas and crevices in the house.
Cockroach control
We mostly come across cockroaches in commercial kitchens, restaurants around the Hoofdstraat and flats with warm service ducts. We place gel baits at their hiding places and come back to check.
Ant control
Garden ants from the sandy Veluwe soil like to march indoors in spring. Pharaoh ants in heated buildings need a different approach. We identify the species and treat accordingly.
Woodworm treatment
Villas in De Parken, old farmhouses and timber garden sheds and log cabins are prone to woodworm and house longhorn beetle. We establish whether the infestation is active and treat the wood precisely.
Other pests
Stone martens under the roof tiles, silverfish in the bathroom, clothes moths in the wardrobe, pigeons on the roof or spiders in the cellar: we are ready to help with those too.

Pest control prices in Apeldoorn
Clear pricing: the inspection costs from €90 and you hear the price of the treatment in advance.
You should know where you stand before anything happens. The inspection costs €90 and that includes the call-out fee and VAT, even if you live outside town in Hoenderloo, Loenen or Uddel. During this visit we map out the problem and look for its cause.
We then discuss the treatment and fix the price with you in advance. What counts is the type of pest, how severe it is and how many times we need to come. Woodworm throughout an entire roof structure simply takes more work than a single wasp nest in the shed. You are not committed to anything until you say yes.

Ongediertebestrijding Apeldoorn: at home on the Veluwe
Ongediertebestrijding Apeldoorn helps households, owners' associations, holiday parks and businesses in Apeldoorn and the surrounding villages. You can ring us at any hour, and our certified specialists are out on jobs from Monday right through to Sunday. We work quickly, at competitive prices and with respect for the nature around the town.
Few Dutch towns are as intertwined with woodland as Apeldoorn. Villa districts such as De Parken and the neighbourhoods around Het Loo have spacious gardens with old trees, while Ugchelen and the streets on the edge of Berg en Bos border directly on the Veluwe. Wood mice, wasps and stone martens find their way in easily there. In the post-war district of Kerschoten and in later expansions such as Zevenhuizen and De Maten, it is more often mice in the crawl space and wasps in the cavity wall.
Integrated pest management is the basis of how we work. That means we investigate first, then take measures to prevent new problems, and only then treat in a targeted way. As a result we only use products where they are needed, which is better for your home, your pets and the countryside around Apeldoorn.

Frequently asked questions
What does pest control in Apeldoorn cost?
Our first step is always an inspection, priced at €90 with call-out fee and VAT included. On that visit we identify the pest and gauge how far it has spread. You then receive a price for the treatment, which we agree with you in advance. The figure reflects the pest involved, how established it is and how many visits we expect to need.
How quickly can you be there, including at weekends?
We are available 24/7 and work 7 days a week. In consultation with you we book a visit as soon as possible, Saturdays and Sundays included. Is the wasp nest next to the front door or a climbing frame? Just mention it, and we will take that into account when planning.
Are the products harmful to my children, dog or cat?
We only use products where necessary and always in a way that suits your household. Bait sits in locked boxes, and sprays are applied in places nobody goes. Occasionally we ask you to clear or air a room for a while. You will hear about that well in advance.
What can I do myself before the exterminator arrives?
Leave the nest or the signs undisturbed as far as possible, so we can see clearly what is going on. Put food and pet food in sealable containers. With wasps and hornets, keep your distance and close windows near the nest. With mice, it helps if you remember where you found droppings.
Our house backs onto the woods. Are we more likely to get mice?
Yes, the chance is greater. Wood mice and house mice look for warmth in autumn, and houses on the edge of the forest in places like Ugchelen, Berg en Bos or Beekbergen lie right on their route. A hole the size of a pencil is enough. We check walls, crawl space and pipe entries and seal the weak spots.
At what time of day do you treat a wasp nest?
Preferably at the end of the day or in the early evening. By then almost all the wasps are back in the nest and the treatment works best. In Apeldoorn, nests are often in cavity walls, under roof tiles or in garden sheds. Don't block the entrance hole yourself, as the wasps will then look for another way out.
Can woodworm spread from my log cabin to my house?
It can. Woodworm beetles fly out and lay eggs in other untreated timber, such as garden furniture, a shed or the roof of your home. If you see fresh exit holes with pale bore dust in a log cabin or garden shed, have the wood inspected. We determine whether the infestation is active and treat it in a targeted way.

Pest control in Apeldoorn, all year round
In Apeldoorn the pests change with the seasons. In spring, ants come indoors and wasp queens build their first small nests. Summer belongs to the wasps themselves, in autumn mice move from the woods into homes, and in winter moths and silverfish become more noticeable. Ongediertebestrijding Apeldoorn knows that rhythm and offers pest control in Apeldoorn in every season.
For pest control Apeldoorn residents can call us day and night. We cover every district and the villages within the municipality, from Ugchelen to Uddel. We always treat after an inspection, so the approach matches what is really going on.
Mouse control in Apeldoorn
Around October, mouse season begins in Apeldoorn. Wood mice, with their large ears and long tails, and grey house mice look for warmth in sheds, garages and crawl spaces, especially in homes on the edge of the woods. Gnaw marks on bags of bird food, droppings along the skirting boards and rustling behind a stud wall are the familiar signs. An opening the size of a pencil is enough. Our mouse control starts by tracking down those openings around pipes, air vents and window frames. We seal them with mesh or other gnaw-proof material and trap or treat the mice indoors using locked stations. Only certified pest controllers may use rodenticides, and we do so only where needed. Prevention tip: store bird food, grass seed and dog biscuits in metal bins.
Rat control in Apeldoorn
Apeldoorn has more water than you might expect: the Apeldoorns Kanaal, the Grift and a network of spring-fed brooks (sprengen) and streams running through neighbourhoods and parks. Brown rats feel at home along those banks. If they make it into your garden, shed or crawl space, burrows under the paving, droppings of one to two centimetres and gnaw marks on drainpipes are clear signs. The cause is often a leaking or dislodged sewer connection. Our rat control maps that route, and we advise having a sewer specialist run a camera through the pipes and fit a non-return sewer flap. For rats in a green space or along a public road, the gemeente Apeldoorn is the right point of contact. Clear food scraps from the compost heap and feed birds from a bird table.
Wasp nest removal in Apeldoorn
Green gardens, wooden fences and trees full of aphids: in Apeldoorn wasps find everything they need. Common wasps and German wasps like to build a wasp nest in the cavity wall, under roof tiles or the eaves, in a bird box or in the ground beneath a hedge. In August and September a colony is at its largest and wasps become more persistent around patios and barbecues. We treat at the end of the day, when the workers have returned, applying a professional product directly into the nest entrance and explaining what to expect over the following days. For a wasp nest at a holiday home or bungalow park around Apeldoorn, we time the visit around the guests. Prevention tip: cover soft drinks and fruit in late summer, and check the shed and summerhouse in May for the beginnings of a small nest.
Bed bug treatment in Apeldoorn
With Paleis Het Loo, the Apenheul and the Veluwe, Apeldoorn draws plenty of visitors, and hotels, campsites and bungalow parks surround the town. Wherever people come and go with suitcases, bed bugs can travel along. A second-hand bed or sofa can also bring them in. These flat, reddish-brown insects hide in mattress seams, behind the headboard and behind loose wallpaper. We confirm the infestation and carry out a heat treatment that also reaches the eggs. For holiday-let owners, we schedule the treatment between two bookings. When you get home from a trip, check your suitcase on the bathroom floor and wash clothes at sixty degrees or more.
Flea treatment in Apeldoorn
If you own a dog in Apeldoorn, you soon find yourself walking through Berg en Bos or across the heath. Your pet can pick up fleas there, just as in your own garden where neighbourhood cats prowl. Once indoors, fleas lay their eggs on the animal, and these drop into the basket, onto the sofa and into rugs. A few weeks later the new fleas jump out, often onto your ankles. Treatment only works if animal and house are tackled at the same time. The vet looks after your pet, while we treat the home with extra attention to crevices and skirting boards. Afterwards, vacuum every day for a few weeks and wash the pet's blanket or cushion on a hot cycle.
Cockroach control in Apeldoorn
Cockroaches can turn up in restaurants around the Hoofdstraat and the Marktplein, in commercial kitchens and in flats with warm service ducts. It is usually the German cockroach, which multiplies at speed, hides by day in warm gaps around the cooker, fridge and dishwasher, and can spread bacteria. We use gel bait that the cockroaches take back to their shelter, followed by a second visit to check the result. For restaurants and cafés we work outside the busiest hours. Don't leave food scraps or dirty dishes out, and seal joints around pipes so fewer hiding places remain.
Ant control in Apeldoorn
The sandy soil of the Veluwe is ideal for ants. Black garden ants and yellow meadow ants build their nests under paving, along foundations and in flower beds, and in spring they find their way into the kitchen through cracks. They are a nuisance, but usually easy to deal with using bait along the trail and a treatment at the nest. Pharaoh ants in heated buildings such as care homes and apartment complexes are another matter. These small yellow ants form many small nests and need a specialist approach, because spraying actually spreads the colony. We first establish which species we are dealing with. Prevention tip: keep worktops and floors free of crumbs, and seal the joint between patio and wall.
Woodworm treatment in Apeldoorn
In a town full of villas, old farmhouses, timber summerhouses and log cabins, the woodworm beetle is spoilt for choice. The common furniture beetle mainly attacks old furniture, floors and beams; the house longhorn beetle lives in softwood, for example in the roof structure of a villa in De Parken or a barn at a farmhouse in Wenum-Wiesel. Fresh exit holes with pale bore dust, wood that feels soft or a gnawing sound in the roof are signs of activity. We investigate how far the damage extends and whether it is still active, then choose a timber treatment to match. If load-bearing beams are badly weakened, we recommend having a builder look at them. Prevention tip: keep wood dry, ventilate crawl spaces and sheds, and never bring old furniture from a barn indoors without checking it first.
Silverfish control in Apeldoorn
Silverfish love damp and darkness. You find them in bathrooms, toilets, cellars and under the kitchen sink, often in the evening when the light goes on. They pose no health risk, but they do damage paper, books and wallpaper. Their presence almost always points to a moisture problem, such as a poorly ventilated bathroom or a damp crawl space. We treat silverfish with a targeted application to joints and crevices and advise you on ventilation and damp-proofing. Leave the bathroom door open after showering and don't switch off the mechanical ventilation.
Moth control in Apeldoorn
A moth problem often starts small: a few holes in a jumper that sat in the wardrobe for a long time, or a meal moth fluttering out of the kitchen cupboard. Clothes moths feed on wool, cashmere and other animal fibres; pantry moths – the Indian meal moth is the best-known – infest muesli, nuts, rice and bird seed. With pantry moths you will see fine threads and clumps in the packaging. We find the source, advise which products to throw away and treat cupboards, joints and crevices. Pheromone traps let us keep an eye on whether the infestation is truly over. Freeze an affected garment for a few days and store dry goods in tightly sealed jars.
Hornet nest removal in Apeldoorn
With the Veluwe forests all around the town, it pays to be able to recognise the Asian hornet. It is dark in colour, with an orange face and yellow legs, and it hunts honey bees at beehives. Its round nest usually hangs high in a tree and only becomes visible when the leaves fall in autumn. In spring a queen may build a small primary nest under a canopy or in a shed. Report a sighting on waarneming.nl and stay away from it. We remove hornet nests safely, including in hard-to-reach places. The European hornet, larger and reddish-brown with yellow, is less aggressive and can usually stay if it poses no danger.
Bee nest removal in Apeldoorn
On the Veluwe heathland around Apeldoorn, honey bees are busy all summer. A bee swarm that settles in your garden or in a hollow tree is therefore not a case for pest control. We help you establish whether it really is bees and refer you to a beekeeper who can collect and relocate the swarm. Bumblebees in a bird box or under a summerhouse are calm creatures; their colony dies out naturally at the end of summer, so we leave them alone wherever possible. Not sure whether it is bees or wasps? Wasps have a smooth, bright yellow and black body, whereas bees are browner and hairy.
Pigeon control in Apeldoorn
In Apeldoorn, pigeons like to nest under solar panels, on dormer windows and in the gutters of shop buildings in the centre. Their droppings damage roofing and façades, block downpipes and cause a smell. Cooing under solar panels above a bedroom can be very disruptive too. The proofing we fit depends on the building: spikes on edges and ledges, nets on balconies and courtyards, tensioned wire along gutters or mesh around solar panels. Where needed, we first remove nests and clean the area. Don't feed pigeons or leave bread outside, otherwise they will keep coming back.
Pest control in Apeldoorn: what does it cost?
With us, you first pay only for the inspection: €90 including call-out fee and VAT. That applies in town and in the villages around it, from Beekbergen to Hoog Soeren.
After the inspection you know which treatment is needed, and that price is always agreed in advance. It is determined by the type of pest, how severe the infestation is and how many visits it takes. A wasp nest in the shed is quickly done; woodworm in an entire roof or mice in a bungalow on the forest edge take more time. Pest control in Apeldoorn from us comes at a sharp price, with an honest forecast up front.
